In a captivating release, el Mafrex has unveiled a new uplifting song titled “DAKKADA,” featuring Afro pop/gospel artiste Usimeke.
The title, “DAKKADA,” translates to “Rise up” in the Ibibio language, serving as a poignant call to rise and praise God in celebration of His faithfulness. The inspiration for this song is drawn from Psalms 122:1, which reads, “I was glad when they said unto me, ‘Let us go into the house of the LORD.'” This verse beautifully encapsulates the essence of communal worship and the joyous act of coming together to praise God—a sentiment that resonates throughout “DAKKADA.”
Additionally, the song draws from Nehemiah 9:5, which declares, “Stand up and praise the LORD your God, who is from everlasting to everlasting.” This verse serves as the foundation of the song’s message, encouraging listeners to rise and offer thanks for God’s eternal love and abundant blessings.
“Dakkada” is not merely a song; it’s a compelling call to action, a celebration of faith, and a reminder of the unifying power of praising the Creator. The song’s infectious rhythm and heartfelt lyrics are poised to uplift spirits and bring joy to audiences worldwide.
In an era where music transcends borders and genres, el Mafrex and Usimeke have crafted a musical masterpiece that is both innovative and deeply rooted in tradition, all while staying true to their Christian beliefs. “DAKKADA” stands as a testament to the ability of music to break down boundaries and unite people in celebration of God’s greatness.
