BBC World Service - This Is Africa, Yaba Buluku Boyz

The Mozambican trio drop their debut album, and DJ Tarico takes over the 10-in-10 mix

Mozambique's Yaba Buluku Boyz talk to Edu about their debut album, and the group's DJ Tarico takes over the 10-in-10 mix to spin 10 bangers from 10 different African countries.

In 2020 Mozambican super producer DJ Tarico released a song which went on to be a massive hit, especially after Nigeria's Burna Boy, aka The African Giant, jumped on the remix. The song was called Yaba Buluku, and now Tarico has teamed up with his original collaborators on it, Nelson Tivane and Preck, and dropped an album of Amapiano tracks called Donsa.

In this episode of TIA, the Yaba Buluku Boyz describe how the song they have named themselves after has changed their lives, and DJ Tarico settles into the 10-in-10 hot seat and shares his mix of 10 bangers from 10 different African countries. Enjoy!
