German Artist Metri Shares Amapiano Summer Anthem “Run Kakalika”
With an infectious mix of deep log drums, hypnotic shaker loops, and a clear message against negativity, Munich-based artist Metri releases his new Amapiano single “Run Kakalika”.
The title “Run Kakalika” metaphorically refers to running away from fake friends and toxic influences (inspired by the West African slang for “Kakalika” / cockroach). It’s about keeping your circle clean and not letting others bring you down.
“With this track, I wanted to create a feeling of liberation. When the bass kicks in, you should forget everything negative,” says Metri. “We want to vibe, dance, and feel good. If you’re causing stress, you gotta go – Run Kakalika!”
