Arguably one of the best contempora­ry Nigerian artistes, Adekunle Gold is one of EL Mukuka’s followed and cherished musicians the reason he has made his ‘’IRE” song his first release for 2019. “The beginning of the year marks the perfect moment for me to remind my fans about the beauty of life with a rich and uplifting remix that fuses my signature tropical sound with highlife music and the powerful Adekunle Gold lyrics,” Mukuka says. “IRE” is his first collaborat­ion with a Nigerian artiste and pays homage to Adekunle Gold’s meaningful message with a music video showing that true happiness lies within and can be found right “at home”. El Mukuka and Adekunle Gold do not just share the same life philosophy, which is exemplifie­d not only in this song but throughout Adekunle Gold’s much-acclaimed album “About 30” and most of El Mukuka’s work, they also share the same musical vision. “The goal for both myself and Adekunle Gold is to make African music popular across the globe and create timeless songs,” says EL Mukuka. The artiste has earned a place in the internatio­nal house scene with various iTunes, Spotify and terrestria­l radio chart rankings in Spain, Argentina, Estonia and Zambia as well as millions of streams worldwide. He has performed at some of the biggest festivals in Sub-Saharan Africa while also sharing the stage with A-List African and internatio­nal acts such as Black Coffee, Mi Casa, Goldfish, Alok and Stimming.
