Africa Music Mix is proud to spotlight one of our main DJs, KARABA, as she releases the official music video for her high-energy Afro House collab “BIG DRIP” featuring Dr. Chaii and Emily Apollo. The visually stunning clip dropped on July 2, 2026, and is already racking up hundreds of thousands of views while lighting up dance floors worldwide.
Who Is KARABA?
KARABA (born Aglaë Maïlys Kounkou) is a French-born, Montreal-raised DJ, producer, and former professional dancer whose sound sits at the perfect intersection of Afro House and underground club culture. With deep Congolese roots, she brings authentic African rhythmic energy to global stages. Before stepping behind the decks, she toured as a dancer with major artists including Drake, Chris Brown, Camila Cabello, and Selena Gomez. That movement-first background still shapes every set and production she delivers.
Her growing catalog has earned a 2024 Juno Award nomination for Underground Dance Single of the Year and a 2026 FEMMY Awards nomination for Album or EP of the Year (Tides Remixes). She has performed across North America, Europe, Africa, South America, and Asia, sharing lineups with Black Coffee, Rampa, Aluna, and more. For Africa Music Mix listeners, KARABA represents the powerful bridge between African heritage and cutting-edge global dance music.
“BIG DRIP” – The Track and the Video
Released on May 29, 2026, via Deeper Rhythms / Milk & Honey Records, “BIG DRIP” is pure Afro House heat. Clocking in at around 120 BPM in C minor, the track delivers hypnotic percussion, driving basslines, and infectious vocal hooks that scream “play this loud.”
The official music video, directed by Emilio Dosal with executive production by Aglaë Kounkou herself, elevates the song into a full visual experience. Shot with high-energy choreography (movement directed by Gab Robert) and a strong cast of dancers, the clip captures the physical, dance-floor connection that defines KARABA’s artistry. From the first drop, the video pulses with the same intensity fans feel in her live sets.
