'Ijó Yá' is the result of the recent collaboration of Balearic house mainstay Kiko Navarro with Afrobeat icon Dele Sosimi and Lizzy Dosunmu: a soulful, propulsive and exuberant tune, the kind you just don't want to leave.
Lizzy Dosunmu's voice leads the song with a magnetic presence, while her vocal lines are beautifully supported by Dele Sosimi's backing vocals, adding depth, warmth and a sense of communal strength.
Voilaaa offers an irresistible remix with his signature magic touch: elastic, funky and sun-soaked, stretching the groove into a looser shape while keeping the original's energy and intent fully alive.
