Dobet Gnahoré’s Abiani lands like a fresh import and it sounds too alive to sit quietly in a folder. If you want one world-beat cut that feels immediate, this is the one to play first.
The track moves with hand-built percussion, a springy bass pulse, and a vocal lead that cuts through the mix with bright, controlled force. Everything feels close-miked and warm, like the room is breathing along with the rhythm.
Put this on when your afternoon needs a reset or your commute needs better company. It brings enough bounce to wake up a dull day without turning frantic, which is exactly the right trick right now.
