Rising Afro-gospel pioneer Godfrey Gad is rewriting the rules of mainstream music, establishing himself as the definitive “Voice of the New Arewa-Afrobeats Wave” with his breakout single, “Tapasa.”
By seamlessly blending the rich linguistic identity of Northern Nigeria (Arewa) with high-energy modern Afrobeats rhythms, Godfrey Gad has introduced a fresh sonic lane. The track’s title, “TAPASA,” is a Hausa term meaning “to boil, burn” or “to break forth” – a theme that has resonated deeply with millions of fans online.
The hit single has rapidly evolved into a massive social media phenomenon, driving viral trends across TikTok and fueling packed, high-energy live performances.
“‘TAPASA’ is a declaration of inevitable breakthrough,” says Godfrey Gad. “We are taking the infectious rhythms the world loves and infusing them with the heart and vocabulary of the North, proving our sound belongs on the global stage.”
As the track crosses over into mainstream Lagos radio rotations and global diaspora playlists, Godfrey Gad is successfully bringing cultural diversity to the African music export market.
“Tapasa” is available for streaming worldwide on all streaming platforms.
