Do you remember ‘Afemakpor’-Delasi’sode to his late dad?  If you don’t, you can read more about it from our review of the music video here.

Delasi has been journeying around the globe with his Thought Journey album since its release, and is currently up to a lot in his motherland and wherever music takes him. While in Kenya, he collaborated with some dope artists and producers. Today we are happy to share with you a hot banging remix from the talented Kenyan producer Jinku who’s “Amadeyo’ EP  (Released via Sofa Lounge Records) made rounds on the internet on prestigious blogs like The Fader.

Here’s what Jinku had to say about remixing Afemakpor:

”To be honest I really struggled with this song, and I had almost given up. The original had this really great African sample and without that, I really wondered what I could create. So I tried to recreate that using Delasi’s own vocals. I don’t know the context of the song, to me it felt like a love song that was trapped in a tribal beat. I just wanted it to be sensual and Delasi’s words to be felt more than the beat, so I gave the song more space. I just imagined I was scoring an intimate dance scene between two star crossed lovers“
