Episode Synopsis

In a summer already heavy with anthems vying for dancefloor dominance, “Abena”, the collaborative single from rising Afrobeats artist Maye and London’s genre-bending Trunkie, stands out not for its volume but for its effortless grace. It’s a smooth, sun-soaked track that feels like a shared secret between friends—the kind of song you stumble upon during a twilight drive and immediately add to every playlist you have.At its core, “Abena” is a celebration of cultural connection and the magnetic pull of summer love, but what elevates it is the way it seamlessly weaves together two distinct artistic voices. Maye, with his Nigerian roots and unmistakable Afrobeats cadence, brings warmth and rhythmic sway, while Trunkie, ever the sonic chameleon from North West London, threads in elements of romantic pop and modern Afro-fusion, adding texture and shape to the track’s breezy pulse.
