Tekno Unveils His Latest Afrobeats Banger: Get Ready For ‘Wayo’

The award-winning pop star is introducing a new musical era with his latest single ‘Wayo’, which marks the beginning of a groundbreaking partnership between his Cartel Music imprint and the global independent label emPawa Africa.

Tekno, with over 2.5 billion streams, continues to be a trailblazer for afrobeats. His influence extends beyond his vocal talents to his production skills, as he has written and produced hits for artists such as Davido, Swae Lee, and Drake.

‘Wayo’ is written and produced by Tekno and Grammy Award-nominated hitmaker ShugaVybz. The song sees Tekno assuring his lover of his pure intentions and undying devotion over infectious percussion, hypnotic synths, and lush guitars.

The accompanying music video, shot in Lagos and directed by Forbes 30 Under 30 filmmaker Dammy Twitch (known for Yung Bleu, DaBaby), stars Nollywood sensation Uzoamaka Aniunoh, complementing the song’s narrative of resilient love.
