DJ Tunez teams up again with Terry Apala on “Apala Groove,” continuing a partnership that dates back to their original “Apala Disco” collaboration.
That earlier record eventually grew into a remix featuring Wizkid and Seyi Vibez, so this reunion between DJ Tunez and Terry Apala carries some real history behind it. Also, Terry Apala has spent years positioning himself as one of Nigeria’s clearest links between traditional Apala music and modern street-pop, a mission he’s spoken about directly in past interviews.
“Apala Groove” keeps that same fusion alive, blending DJ Tunez’s polished production instincts with Terry Apala’s rhythmic, percussion-heavy vocal style. DJ Tunez has built a career on records like this, pairing global sensibilities with distinctly Nigerian sounds across a catalogue that includes collaborations with Wizkid and Reekado Banks.
Terry Apala’s own commitment to preserving Apala music while modernising it gives every one of his features a distinct texture. His delivery here stays rooted in that tradition, even as DJ Tunez’s arrangement leans toward something more contemporary.
Coming from two artists who’ve already proven their chemistry once before, “Apala Groove” arrives as a natural continuation of a sound they clearly enjoy building together.
