MoBlack Records is releasing an Afro House reinterpretation of Mory Kanté’s “Mana Mana Ko,” credited to Italian producer MoBlack alongside Feki Station, out November 13.
The rework retains Kanté’s original vocals while building a new instrumental around them, with percussion, synth arrangements and piano progressions that develop toward what the label describes as a euphoric climax.
MoBlack, who has spent time living in Ghana, has built a reputation within the Afro House scene for blending African musical traditions with house, electronic and melodic techno influences. The new track continues that approach, pairing the late Guinean artist’s vocal performance with a contemporary dancefloor production.
