Anghel, Prayon, Idd Aziz - Kipekeele

“Kipekeele”—Swahili for unique or exclusive—is a bold Afro House anthem that brings together the vibrant soul of Kenya with New York’s cutting-edge electronic scene. The result is a track that feels both deeply rooted and future-facing.

This genre-spanning collaboration between legendary Kenyan vocalist Idd Aziz and rising production duo Anghel & Prayon is built on instinct, improvisation, and true creative chemistry. It all began with a different beat—sent to Aziz for vocals. But what he sent back was so powerful, it demanded a complete reinvention. Prayon unearthed a long-lost sample originally crafted for a rap record—one that, by some cosmic twist, clicked perfectly with Idd’s vocal energy. From there, the song took flight.

Aziz, a mainstay of Kenya’s contemporary music scene, brings his unmistakable vocal presence—rich in tradition and uplifted by his globally celebrated Afro-fusion stylings. His past collaborations span artists like Black Motion, Boddhi Satva, and Shimza, making him one of the most sought-after voices in Afro House today.

Anghel & Prayon, meanwhile, are no newcomers to the scene:
Anghel came up during New York’s golden era of house, releasing on iconic labels like Jellybean Records and Star 69, and collaborating with legends like RuPaul. His DJ sets have supported Jamie xx and others across global stages.
Prayon brings major-league production chops to the table, having worked with the likes of Beyoncé, Sean Paul, and Pitbull. His music has also featured in numerous film and TV placements.

Together, they’re redefining global house music with emotional resonance and club-ready energy. With “Kipekeele”, they deliver a hypnotic, percussive groove that blends organic rhythms with bold electronics, wrapped around Idd Aziz’s passionate vocals. It’s a tune equally at home on festival stages and deep, late-night dancefloors.

Marketing Highlights
DJ & Industry Support: Previous releases from Anghel & Prayon, like “Bawayo”, have received high-profile support from Black Coffee and other global tastemakers. Kipekeele is already generating buzz among Afro House selectors.

Global Storytelling: Bridging New York and Nairobi, the track encapsulates the cross- continental dialogue at the heart of modern Afro-electronic music—backed by three artists with heavyweight international résumés.

Press & Platform Potential: With names like Beyoncé, Pitbull, RuPaul, and Sean Paul in their collective credits—not to mention features in film/TV—this release comes with real crossover appeal and sync potential.
