Auranova Studios announces the arrival of Munivar, a mysterious new figure whose presence is felt more than explained.
The journey begins with “Healing”, the debut single featuring Grammy Award-winning singer and lyricist Daramola, fresh off his 2025 win for Best Reggae Album in recognition of his contributions to the Bob Marley: One Love album.
“Healing” blends Afro House rhythms with Indian instrumentation.

Cape Verdean singer Josslyn has released her latest single, “Baby Mama” — an intense, melodic kizomba track about a woman choosing peace, self-love, and freedom.
The song arrives with a visualizer filmed in São Vicente, Cape Verde, directed by the Kriol Box collective and produced by Débora Melício.
“Nka kre ser bo baby mama” (“I don’t want to be your baby mama”) is not an attack — it’s a choice. It’s a declaration from someone who refuses to remain in a space that no longer reflects who she is.
“I wrote this song at a time when I needed to remind myself that I deserve better. That we, as women, deserve better. That we have the right to say no, to walk away, to start again. This song is about that — knowing our worth and choosing what’s good for us,” says Josslyn.
Josslyn is also set to make her film debut in the Angolan movie “Maldito Amor”, the country’s first horror feature film. She stars alongside acclaimed actor Sílvio Nascimento.

This stirring anthem confronts the devastating impact of gun violence on urban centers and marginalized neighborhoods worldwide.
The song vividly portrays the tragic loss of young Black lives in places such as Jamaica, New York City, Haiti, Trinidad, and Soweto—where gunshots have claimed lives and left communities shattered.
“Cease Fire” not only calls for an end to violence but also highlights the heart-wrenching consequences of such bloodshed. With lines like,
“Mothers are crying,
Sons and fathers gone,
Children left to carry on,”
the track paints a poignant picture of the human toll of gun violence, urging listeners to come together and break this destructive cycle.
In an impassioned message, Minna LaFortune explains her inspiration:
“I wrote ‘Cease Fire’ because I am deeply saddened by the relentless cycle of gun violence affecting young Black men and boys across the globe. Too many of our youth are losing their lives in their teens and twenties, caught in a cycle where death and violence seem inevitable. This song is a rallying cry for us to stand together, choose peace, and reshape our destiny by educating and inspiring one another.”
The track’s fusion of reggae with elements of hip-hop and dancehall underscores its dynamic energy and universal appeal. “Cease Fire” is not only a call to lay down arms and stop the killing—it is also an invitation to rebuild communities with love, education, and resilience.
