Cali P and Producer Teka drops “Rise Up & Shine” featuring Stonebwoy & Seun Kuti on March 20

Cali P and German Producer, Teka, announce new song release with STONEBWOY featuring Seun Kuti (Son of Fela Kuti).

Set for March 20, 2020, the song is supposed to hit all the global digital stores, including Boomplay Music.

“Rise Up and Shine” as the opening single of Cali P x TEKA’s EP “VIZION III” incorporates Cali P’s personal life mantra: “out of every struggle we should make success”. In times of increasing stress levels and productivity demands this is a well empowering reminder. The afrobeat-flavoured reggae riddim by TEKA develops that positive message to a brightly shining good vibes anthem. Inspired by that and motivated by long-lasting friendships with Cali P, both Ghana’s Grammy nominee Stonebwoy and Nigeria’s singer and saxophonist Sean Kuti (obviously son of Fela) blessed the track with feature parts.

Back then, Cali P was introduced to Fela Kuti’s work by his father who is also a musician. The original afrobeat sound became crucial for Cali P’s own sound aesthetic, which makes him even more proud to host these two important West African artists. The thing went full circle and they also asked Cali P’s dad to play the shakers for this song, even if he lives in Guadeloupe. The message is honest and clear: Overcome your struggles and shine!
