Afropop princess Katongo drops Baba video

With support from tastemakers such as Nigeria’s Beat FM and Naija FM, Zambia’s Power FM, Hot 87 FM and Flava FM, as well as the UK’s BBC 1 Xtra for her single, JOY, fast-rising afropop princess, Katongo, returns with the visuals for her brand new single, Baba, produced by award-winning Zambi an beatmaker and songwriter, Chali Bravo.
 Fun and flirty in essence, Baba is an exciting record that celebrates the African man. Already being described as one of the best international afropop songs of the year, Baba is simply good music for your listening pleasure, from its uptempo African drums to the catchy chorus to Katongo’s sultry vocals. It’s also a welcome return for Katongo who is set to take African music by storm.
Filmed on location at the renowned Orange Studios in London and directed by Krish Knightstar (Future Productions) and Katongo, the visuals are a bright and colourful affair, while remaining simple and sexy, as it visually expresses Katongo’s sentiment on Baba, paying homage to African men, represented by her lush leading man in the 3-minute long video.
Soon to embark on a nationwide UK university tour this month plus a South African tour scheduled for early next year, Katongo is hard at work, writing and recording her debut album, which is due to be released next year, and if JOY and new hit Baba are the indicators, her debut album will definitely be one to watch out for.
