Samini – Chaana ft. Soweto Gospel Choir is a soul-stirring collaboration that bridges West and South Africa through music and visuals. The song blends Samini’s signature reggae-dancehall sound with the rich, harmonic textures of the Grammy-winning Soweto Gospel Choir. “Chaana,” which means “light” in the Dagaare language, is a celebration of African spirituality, resilience, and unity—a message brought to life through breathtaking cinematography and spiritual symbolism.
The music video, directed by Yaw Skyface and lensed by Director Banini as the Director of Photography (DOP), captures the essence of the track with poetic visuals and cinematic finesse. Shot across stunning South African landscapes, the video features sweeping drone shots, golden-hour lighting, and powerful symbolism that amplify the song’s message. Banini’s eye for texture, depth, and mood brings a dynamic visual language to the story—balancing grandeur with intimacy and grounding the mystical tone in tangible beauty.
