In D’Banj’s own words, “‘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.” The record is a cross-continental collaboration that celebrates the unity of African music, pairing Naija flair with the bounce and groove of South African production aesthetics.
