Bantu - 'Ka Maa Dupe'

Shot in the ancient city of Abeokuta with everyday people interacting with BANTU’s lead female vocalist and other band member, this life affirming song celebrates the ability of the human spirit to triumph despite the odds.

Themes of loneliness and vulnerability are openly addressed alongside remedial themes of gratitude and resistance as the band share their personal stories.

The final verse, sung in Yoruba, is used to invoke the beauty of the language and its deeply positive proverbs and adages that connect to the song’s title 'Ká Máa Dúpẹ́' which, translated into English, means “let us be thankful.”

The video was directed by Suki Filmworks.
