Kabusa Oriental Choir: Redefining Music with Harmonies from the Heart of Africa

Kabusa Oriental Choir is rewriting the rules of modern African music. Known for their acapella-driven sound and viral choral covers, this one-of-a-kind group continues to inspire fans worldwide with their originality, purpose, and heartfelt storytelling. Since their debut in 2019, Kabusa Oriental Choir has consistently delivered fresh air to the music industry, with harmonies that resonate far beyond Lagos.

A Viral Beginning with a Unique Sound

Kabusa Oriental Choir first captured attention on March 11, 2019, with their viral mashup of “Yeba” and “Baba.” The world quickly noticed the hypnotic charm of their sound. Unlike anything else on the scene, their style was born from the spiritual traditions of African village choirs, liturgical classics, and global ethnic harmonies.

From Choir Covers to Global Collaborations

While they started with creative covers, Kabusa Oriental Choir has since evolved into collaborators on major international tracks. Their vocal magic can be heard on songs like “Falling Feels Like Flying” by Anotr, “Easy To Love” by Folamour, “Regntid” by Tobias Rahim, and hits by Nigerian stars such as BNXN, Kizz Daniel, and Timaya.

Latest Release: ‘Can I Be’

Their new single “Can I Be” came from a deeply human place. Overwhelmed by stress and responsibilities, the song was born as a cry for stillness—a soulful plea for peace amid chaos. Like much of their music, it speaks directly to listeners’ emotions.

Inspired by Lagos and Local Church Culture

Kabusa’s harmonies are shaped by Lagos’s vibrant and spiritual atmosphere. Local “Cele” churches especially influence their acapella style, blending the sacred with the soulful in every track.

Bringing Therapy Through Music

“We want to be everyone’s therapist,” the group shares. “We want people to feel seen and heard through our songs.” Their goal is simple: to touch hearts and be part of people’s everyday lives with a sound that is both healing and relatable.

What Makes Kabusa Oriental Choir Stand Out

They are a “main-character” choir with no need for a conductor. Their distinct harmonies, shared voice, and message-first music bring something rare and unforgettable to the Nigerian music scene.

Musical Roots and Evolving Purpose

Kabusa Oriental Choir is inspired by the likes of African village choirs, Gregorian chants, and multi-ethnic vocal groups. Their songwriting process varies—sometimes melody-first, sometimes lyrics-first—but always rich with emotion. Collaborating with artists helps them stay on trend, while their original releases remain true to their unique sound.

Looking Ahead: Albums, Tours, and the Super Bowl

Fans can expect an album and a world tour in 2026, with Europe high on the list. Their ambition? Performing at the Super Bowl. Through their foundation, they also hope to grow the choir and inspire inner-city children through music and teaching.
