D’banj has unleashed an electrifying new single, “Tobari,” that brings together Nigerian nightlife titan DJ Obi and South African Amapiano legend DJ Maphorisa. The track, many listeners agree, is a masterclass in sonic fusion, blending Afro-house, Amapiano, and Street-pop into an infectious anthem designed to dominate dancefloors from Lagos to Johannesburg.
“Tobari” opens with a taste of the high life, as D’banj sets a luxurious tone with the line, “Chilling now in Obi’s house, wearing Timbaland from head to toe.” He then seamlessly reclaims his legendary “koko” persona with a signature blend of wit and charm, while a Yoruba call-and-response chorus transforms the track into a communal celebration. This dynamic mix of sounds and styles is built for viral moments and spontaneous dance circles, inviting fans to turn up and let the music take over.
According to D’banj, “’Tobari’ is a celebration of sound and friendship. It’s what happens when icons from different scenes connect; we bring the heat and invite the world to dance with us.” Indeed, the single showcases the power of cross-continental collaboration and how diverse musical traditions can come together to create something truly special.
With its undeniable energy and star power, “Tobari,” now available on all major streaming platforms, marks a thrilling new chapter for D’banj and a must-add to any party playlist.
