-Rising Afro-Fusion artist Nella returns with a new single,
‘Danda Kidi’, a beautiful
celebration of African women. In a world increasingly shaped by global voices,
NELLA stands tall, a vibrant cultural storyteller, ready to shake the ground with her
electrifying new single.
More than just a song, DANDA KIDI is a movement, a blazing tribute to the soul of
Africa and the power of the African woman, a spirited anthem that blends
traditional Cameroonian rhythm with modern global energy.
From the first beat, DANDA KIDI unfolds like a sunrise over the savannah - bold,
radiant, and rooted in rhythm. Hip hop bass lines, bend-skin percussions and
Afrobeats grooves collide in a sonic tapestry that is distinctly African, yet
universally thrilling. With spirited call-and-response chants, sweeping harmonies,
and ancestral drum patterns, Nella invites us into a world where music is not
background noise; it’s a heartbeat, a history, a homecoming.
On the inspiration behind the song, Nella says,
“Danda Kidi is a vibe, a mindset, and a movement. It’s about owning your rhythm, honoring yourroots, and letting your faith in your ability to succeed lead. No matter whereyou’re from, this piece of my heart is for you.
”
The song’s title - DANDA KIDI, a colloquial expression for "let's dance"
, is agenerational callout. It honors the matriarchs who have moved mountains in
silence, the young women finding their voice, and the joy that binds the continent
and its diaspora.
Inspired by her roots in Yaoundé, Cameroon, and her journey through Los Angeles
and Houston, Nella bridges the pulse of the continent with the poise of the
diaspora. On DANDA KIDI, she doesn’t just sing, she summons. Whether you’re
dancing in a Cameroonian courtyard, a Lagos lounge, or a Brooklyn rooftop, this is
a song that commands your spirit to rise.

raised across Los Angeles and Houston, she embodies the fullness of diasporic
identity: ancestral pride meets modern expression. Her music fuses Makossa,
Bikutsi, Mbalax, Afrobeats, R&B, and Amapiano into a style that’s equal parts
celebration and confession.
Her lyrics move through English, French, Pidgin, and Fèfè, pulling from the
tongues that shaped her story. Since making her official studio debut in 2024,
Nella has dropped powerful singles like ‘C’est Dieu Qui Donne,
’ ‘JeJe,
’ and ‘Star,
earning over 1.3+ million streams and building a community of over 250,000 fans

But Nella’s journey is more than metrics. She founded her high school’s first
Hip-Hop club in California, wrote through heartbreak and healing, and chose
music not as a luxury but as a lifeline. Her story is the story of many immigrants,
many women, many dreamers, and that’s what makes it universal.
With DANDA KIDI, Nella is not just performing, she’s reclaiming joy, reclaiming
rhythm, and reclaiming space.
