‘VaiVai’ is a vibrant bass loaded afrobeat track that tantalizes the senses with a non-stop array of sounds and a heavy groove. Taking root from Angola & Portugal, it’s impossible to not get sucked into the layered shuffling backdrop of beats and organic percussion peppered with computer-game style blips and bleeps. Raz & Afla turn things up a notch further with a stellar remix.
