Yemi Alade keeps building bridges across African sounds as she drops “Coco na Yam,” a fresh link-up with Ferre Gola. The song sits on her project It’s Yemi Alade, mixing Nigerian Afropop with Congolese rumba in one breath.
The record places two different musical worlds side by side. Afropop drives the tempo, while rumba brings its own weight and texture. Because both artists carry followers beyond their home markets, the collaboration travels easily across Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo and other Francophone African spaces.
It also fits a pattern she has followed for a while. Yemi Alade keeps reaching across African scenes, and Ferre Gola arrives with a career tied closely to modern rumba. Their pairing on the same project feels like a natural next step rather than a random one.
“Coco na Yam” is out on all major digital platforms. What do you make of Yemi Alade – “Coco na Yam” featuring Ferre Gola? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
