Luyo, under his tropical alias Azouka, dives deep into Afro-Latin rhythms with "Nokya Se" a house-infused reinterpretation of a classic Angolan dance track. Infusing his Caribbean roots into this vibrant release, Luyo crafts a seamless blend of house grooves with traditional Angolan influences, delivering a lush, rhythmic journey that pays homage to the original while giving it a fresh, contemporary edge.



The track opens with intricate percussion and organic samples, instantly setting a sun-soaked mood. A hypnotic synthy bassline drives the energy forward, with vibrant horns and soulful vocal loops from the Angolan source material providing the heartbeat of the song. The result is a rich, multi-layered composition perfect for the dancefloor, yet deeply rooted in culture and heritage.



"Nokya Se" captures the essence of house music's ability to unite global sounds, while Luyo's careful sampling and production choices highlight his respect for Afro-Latin traditions. Whether closing out a sunset set or elevating a daytime dancefloor, this track brings a tropical, feel-good vibe with an undeniable groove. A must-listen for those seeking house with a deeper cultural resonance.
