There was a specific kind of magic in the air when Afefe first hit the airwaves. It wasn’t just a song but a call to action. You’d be at a wedding reception or a house party, and as soon as Dr Sid’s vocals kicked in over that hypnotic Don Jazzy rhythm, the atmosphere changed. People didn’t just dance; they moved with a certain lightness, mimicking the wind the song celebrates. Years later, listening to it feels like a time machine back to an era of pure, uncomplicated Afropop joy.
