Zambian dancehall artist Deborah, also known as Deborah Music, is back with the buzzing track “Akatambo,” produced by Kofimix. The record pairs contemporary dancehall elements with a nostalgic touch, giving it a distinct character.
“Akatambo” stands out because of its retro-inspired sound. It is built around a vocal sample from Sade Adu’s 1985 classic “Is It a Crime.” That soul-driven element adds a smooth contrast to Deborah’s bold delivery, while the production keeps things rooted in modern Zambian music.
The track has also picked up attention across social media, particularly on TikTok. Its catchy feel has helped push “Akatambo” to a wider audience. Deborah’s expressive style adds personality to the record, so the song stays in the spotlight.
An official music video followed on September 14, 2026, giving listeners another reason to revisit the track. The blend of classic sample and dancehall energy makes sense for where Zambian music is right now.
