Atumpan's New "Clap Clap" Video

<p dir="ltr">Check it. Atumpan AKA “Talking Drum,” just released a new video for his single “Clap Clap.” Atumpan, who was recently nominated for a MOBO Award for ‘Best African Act,’ is a Ghanaian Afrobeats sensation. He performs in English, Pidgin and Twi, and is well known for a controversial hit single, “The Thing,” a song which generated a certain amount of controversy around its <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/aug/23/atumpan-the-thing-music">subject matter</a>.</p> <p dir="ltr">Continuing in the Afrobeats meets Euro-pop style of "The Thing," Clap Clap marries a syncopated digital rhythm to straight ahead synthesizer pulse, creating a sound that lands somewhere in between D'banj and will.i.am. In the video itself, Atumpan rolls with dapper swagger, sporting a top hat and smoking a cigar. While the song is once again an infectious ode to those pretty ladies, this time there is little potential for controversy, only the chance to enjoy some party-starting Ghanaian pop and a video featuring the charismatic singer boogieing down with the ladies of his life.</p> <iframe loading="lazy" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/EV9w7hDq_HI" height="315" width="420" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe>
