Making an impact in the Afro-dancehall scene, Warchild Bezzy is a talented artist fusing influences from South Sudan and Uganda to create infectious beats and catchy tunes. Born Mandela Kuol Awet Alor in Khartoum in 1994, this Afrobeat artist’s musical journey began early, finding refuge and expression in the rhythms of Sunday school choirs in a refugee settlement in Uganda.
Drawing inspiration from artists such as such as Lucky Dube, Jose Chameleon and Awilo, Warchild Bezzy’s musical journey took off when he was 19, recording his debut track “Nyan Sunday.” Influenced by the sounds of Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy and Diamond Platnumz, Bezzy embarked on a mission to bring South Sudanese music to a global audience.
Now residing in Kampala, Uganda, Warchild Bezzy brings us his latest track, “Sidong,” a collaboration with the talented singer Tanasha Donna. This Afrobeat anthem follows the success of his previous summer hit, “Sawa Sawa” and marks his eighth contribution to his growing discography.
“Sidong” immediately captivates with its rhythmic Afrobeat energy, the vibrant pulse of shuffling drums and the smooth vocal interplay between Warchild Bezzy and Tanasha Donna. The track embodies the essence of Afro-dancehall, featuring an infectious chorus hook that’s sure to stick with you long after hearing it.
Tanasha Donna’s elegant vocal leads blend perfectly with Warchild Bezzy’s slick delivery, creating a dynamic and engaging listening experience throughout. The creation of “Sidong” when entirely spontaneous creation, born out of studio experimentation, the catchy lyrical flow and theme emerged naturally. With Warchild Bezzy enlisting Tanasha Donna to fit the final piece of the puzzle, the result is an instantly catchy and infectiously danceable collaboration.
With each release, he brings South Sudanese music to a global audience, creating a sonic output that go from strength to strength. As the Afrobeat movement continues to gain momentum, Warchild Bezzy’s contribution stands as a showcase of the genre’s universal appeal and the artist’s dedication to spreading its vibrant spirit.
