Listen to Rema's New Song 'Kelebu'
Rema has released the new song 'Kelebu.' The high-energy track is the Nigerian artist's third single of the year, following 'Baby (Is It a Crime)' and 'Bout U.' Listen to 'Kelebu' below.
'Growing up, I didn't have a phone to create my music taste; my household had different music tastes; I listened to what everybody played,' Rema said in a press release. 'In school parties, we used to dance to a lot of Caribbean and Francophone bounces. We didn't care about what they were saying because most of them were not even in our local language in Nigeria. They just kept repeating one word with a fantastic instrumental backing it up, and we all danced. Making music now, I'm reliving those moments by expressing it with my art.'
Rema is nearly finished with his tour in support of last year's Heis. While on the road, he performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, New York's Madison Square Garden, the O2 in London, and elsewhere.
Read about Rema's Heis cut 'Ozeba' at No. 63 in 'The 100 Best Songs of 2024.' Plus, revisit Alphonse Pierre's 2019 interview with the musician, 'Rema Is Leading the Next Generation of Nigerian Pop.'

‘SA fashion isn't ag shame' - Meet the judges advocating for buying local
Proudly SA's bid to promote buying local fashion continues. The annual competition once again calls for all the people of South Africa to buy and wear local fashion. 'It can be casual because the perception has always been, 'I can't afford David [Tlale], I can't afford Scalo'. It's not about that. It's about just something that makes you comfortable. 'When you wear something, whether it's couture, whether it's office wear, whether it's casual, if it gives you a spring in your step, that's what we're looking for,' says Happy MaKhumalo Ngidi, the chief marketing officer at Proudly SA. South Africa's buy local campaign is inviting all the people of Mzansi to share a recent photo of themselves online, use the relevant tags and stand a chance to win R50 000 worth of local fashion. But who decides on the winners? It's some of SA's top designers.
