Towards the end of last year, the streets churned a new sound (Zanku) which was accompanied by a dance. Shaku Shaku was the hottest dance before then and with the wave of a hand, Zlatan sent Shaku Shaku packing.
Zanku, which means Zlatan Abeg No Kill Us, was popularized by street rapper Zlatan Ibile. The sound and dance quickly became pop culture and prominent acts like Davido, Burna Boy, Olamide, adapted the sound and further pushed it to virality.
It's impossible to hear a quality Zanku song and not lose composure and begin to move your legs and body.
