I’m hoping that it has been a joyful beginning of 2025 for you. Whichever the case, let’s purpose to keep things extra positive this year. I believe that listening to good music is a great place to start, and “Bwadra” by singer Naid has just the right vibe.

Naid hails from Mayotte, a French overseas territory which is part of the Comoro Islands. The artist closed 2024 on a high note, releasing his ololo EP on December 28th.

“Bwadra” is one of the 7 songs on the project. It was accompanied by a lovely music video capturing its vibrant vibe. Musically, the up-tempo song fuses various influences, from Congolese dance to styles associated with East African coast.

In its entirety, ololo is a captivating EP. Listen to it via Spotify, and don’t forget to keep up with Naid on Instagram.
