I first heard about Ade Bantu (Bantu stands for Brotherhood Alliance Navigating Towards Unity) when the single 'Nzobu' hit airwaves in Nigeria sometime in 1999. Was a new and fresh sound as I recall with the merging of hip hop and afro-beat. This is off the soundtrack for the movie by Andy Okoroafor titled Relentless and has Bantu featuring the electro-pop sensation Nneka.

Enjoy new sounds.
