Capturing the viral energy that defined the early weeks of 2026, Versatile Ghanaian musician, and recording producer, TinoGh has officially released his high-octane rendition of the cultural phenomenon, “Kuriya Kuriya.” Dropping on February 4, 2026, the track capitalizes on the massive global attention surrounding the Dagbani chant that went viral during American streamer IShowSpeed’s historic visit to Ghana in late January.
The song is a rhythmic Afropop-Dancehall fusion co-produced by TinoGh and his creative team. While the original “Kuriya Kuriya” chant originated as a traditional Northern Ghanaian call-and-response among women at the Shea Butter Museum, TinoGh transforms it into a modern club anthem. The lyrics pay homage to the viral moment while weaving in themes of cultural pride and the “Barima” (manly) spirit that Speed embraced during his tour. It is an energetic, celebratory piece that bridges the gap between traditional Dagbani heritage and contemporary street pop, speaking directly to the digital generation that witnessed the chant’s rebirth on live stream.
Musically, the track features a booming, percussive arrangement that mirrors the rhythmic pounding of shea butter, giving the beat an organic yet industrial feel. TinoGh’s delivery is vibrant and punchy, utilizing the “Kuriya Kuriya” hook to drive a relentless groove that is already dominating TikTok and Instagram Reels. By releasing this track so swiftly after the event, TinoGh has effectively captured the “zeitgeist” of 2026—turning a viral cultural exchange into a definitive musical moment for the Shatta Movement and beyond.
