Afro House Anthem “GYAL,” is a cross-continental collaboration between London artist and curator Manu, Bermuda native DJ/producer Korie Minors, and Caribbean-born, now UK based artist Merchant.
The song has already earned early support from fellow artists like Francis Mercier, Kitty Amor, Alex Wann, Fiona Kraft, and others.
“This record is something that is truly unique and special to all of us as artists and to the genre of Afro House,” says Jamaican born Merchant.
“GYAL” represents the sonic evolution of a genre that’s exploded across the globe, by being forward but also rooted in the core of all of our cultures. Having the vocal be in patois is particularly special to me, not only because I am Jamaican, but because it also highlights Jamaica’s wide ranging cultural impact.”
The the track pairs layered percussion and deep, rolling basslines with an infectious Jamaican vocal hook—capturing the energy of a peak-hour Ibiza dancefloor with undeniable global appeal.
Manu shares that “this is a production that crosses genres, cultures, and styles.
With “GYAL” we created something original and we hope that it provides an experience people want to feel over and over.”
Manu is the founder of tastemaker label Klub Record and a champion of Afro House across Europe.
He’s built a following of over 200k fans, playing a pivotal role in bringing together dedicated fans and newcomers to Afro House, sharing a niche sound in a dependable and palatable way which everyone can identify with via the label and his Deep Sounds podcast.
Korie Minors has built an impressive career – not only curating events such as AfroJam, but also working and performing with brands and organizations such as Soho House, St. Regis, Bermudian Government and more.
Rooted in her native Mayotte and of Malagasy heritage, Zily creates music that transcends borders.
Over vibrant Amapiano rhythms from South Africa, she weaves together Shimaoré, Kibushi, and a message that resonates deeply: “Uncle, where are you? The time has come. You must wake up.”
Following the success of “Tsika” and “Amani”, “Zama” marks the next chapter in her artistic rise, as she continues to expand her reach from Mayotte to the world. “I want to meet other cultures, share my own, bring our languages, our instruments, our sounds together,” she said during a recent recording session for her upcoming album.
“This song was born at a time when I myself needed to remember that even on the hardest days, there is something inside us that keeps shining,” says Lurdes. “I hope that whoever listens to this song feels inspired not to give up on their truth, their dreams, their light. I want ‘Luz do Sol’ to inspire people to embrace their own strength and to find beauty in every new day.”
“Luz do Sol” blends the essence of afro-pop with electronic beats and the sensual groove of amapiano, in a production that highlights the artist’s voice and soul.
The lyrics speak of self-love, faith, resilience, and the freedom to be -themes that have defined Lurdes’s journey both online and offline, on and off stage.
