Nigerian Grits from Hungary

After a longer than planned summer break, back at the controls of Mangue Music. No new upload yet, just a quick post presenting an interesting thing I encountered this summer.

Buzadara by Dubem K x TboySimple


I'm not into electronic/dance music at all, but this one sounded from the first hearing so sympathetic, that I like to show it to you. It's by some Nigerian boys studying at a university in the east of Hungary, a country currently not known for it's friendliness towards foreigners. Nevertheless this song seems to be a big hit there (over 1 million YT views), they even played at the famous Sziget Festival a few days ago.

Explaining the title: BÚZADARA (hungarian) = GRITS
Curious for the word in Nigerian languages...

No discography, as far as I know this is their first musical production, they have some more videos at their youtube page.
Here's an interview with the boys in Nigerian/English with Hungarian subtitles.
