Popular for their hilarious and soulful covers of viral songs, Kabusa Oriental Choir has become a force in the Nigerian music industry since 2019, when their first choir mashup, featuring Kizz Daniel's "Yeba" and DJ Spinall's "Baba," went viral on the internet. But now, with "Cannabi," the group steps into their own light a bit more, embracing originality with a brash, commercial Afro-pop shine. "Cannabi" has you in a warm embrace. The production juxtaposes dense choral arrangements against Afro-fusion rhythms, merging traditional vocal layering with contemporary textures. It's a party not only of life, but of convenience. The chemistry among the choir members is electric, and you can hear the joy echoing through every note.
There is a simple but universal sentiment in the lyrics as well. And Kabusa Oriental Choir performs this anthem with a cheeky charm and rhythmic buoyancy that's sure to raise spirits and sway bodies. Though the group remains anchored in the choral tradition, they use this concert to show how much their musical thinking has evolved. "Cannabi" is a powerful example of just how far they have come, from going viral with covers to nurturing original, replayable music that's rich in cultural taste and commercial potential.
"Cannabi" comes as a welcome reminder that one should dance more, laugh louder, and far prefer peace to pressure. This isn't just a song, it's a way of life delivered in a bright package of harmony. In doing so, this release shows that Kabusa Oriental Choir's sound and the group's self-proclaimed mission to create fun and healing music are more vibrant and vital than ever. Stream it, vibe to it, and quite possibly live by it because "Cannabi" is feel-good therapy.
