Sean Dampte ushers in a new season of growth and elevation with afrofusion anthem “Gbera”

Fast-rising afrofusion artist SEAN DAMPTE starts off his 2026 account with “GBERA,” a bold and catchy melodic anthem that came about when he changed his mind about life entering a new season and how big the world is compared to the limits people put on themselves. Dampte didn’t want to go into too much detail about the journey, so he made “Gbera” to show that confident rise, full of celebration and spiritual awareness. An ancestral salute is at the heart of the record, giving it its direction and momentum. “This is a new season song for me,” says Sean Dampte. I understood that the world is bigger than we think after everything I’ve seen and learned. I made this record to sound like a rise, and I want to thank my ancestors for helping me through this next stage of my life.

Sean Dampte’s song “Gbera” is the sound of movement and manifestation to start off 2026. It was inspired by the new perspectives and alignments that come with a new year. The song sets the mood and serves as a record for this moment. It works just as well as an introduction to Dampte’s philosophical worldview, a soundtrack for your 2026 wins, and a crowd-pleaser made for afrobeats street parties and playlists. Dampte also adds sharp lyrics to the song that show how strict his definition of success is. The message of “Gbera” is clear: real elevation is wise, grounded, and intentional. It can be about rejecting the pressure of performative wealth or breaking down stereotypes that say money is loud or big.

Sean Dampte has teamed up with Nairobi-based filmmaker Director FRUX (Davido, Major League DJz, Seyi Vibez) to make the motivational song “Gbera” even more real with the help of a visualizer. The “Gbera” video was shot in Nairobi and the famous Ngong Hills in Kenya. It takes the song’s themes of growth and elevation and turns them into a cinematic pan-African statement. The Ngong Hills were chosen because of their high height, clear skies, and wide views of the skyline. They are a literal metaphor for growth—the climb, the discipline, the sacrifice, and the clarity that comes when you reach a higher point of view. The song’s main idea is that everything looks different when you get up. The visuals make us want to rise, see more, and move in a different way.

Malammore unveils a new voice rising from portugal’s margins on new album “Aurora”

Malammore, whose real name is Sandro Feliciano, is a singer, songwriter, and producer from Lisbon, Portugal. “Aurora” is his first album. The album comes out on January 23 and tells the story of his life as a young Black man, his search for belonging, and his country’s cultural resistance. The lyrics talk about love, adoption, thoughts on humanity, and how the artist sees his role in the world. The concept for the album originated from a notebook containing poems, narratives, and my self-perception within this world. It’s a record of the Black experience in Portugal, of belonging and feeling alone, of love and loss.

Sandro, also known as Malammore, was born in 2005 and lived with the Portuguese State for two years until he was adopted in 2008, which was a big change in his life. One of the main ideas in Aurora is to turn the idea of a “black hole” into “the world’s white hole,” which shows a universe that erases identities. He challenges dominant narratives and changes how people see black bodies in society by filling it with the idea of blackness.

The album mixes hip-hop, rap, trap, and spoken word, which is not something that is usually done. Malammore gets the political tone of the project from people like Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Angela Davis, and Fela Kuti. No Icon (Rodrigo Fernandes) did the production, mixing, and mastering for the album at Lisbon Sound Society.
