Legendary singer and Afropop trailblazer, Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo, better known as D’banj, has teamed up with South African record producer, singer and songwriter, Themba Sekowe, well known as DJ Maphorisa, and Syndik8 Record’s official DJ cum founder Obi’s House, Obinna Levi Ajuonuma, known professionally as DJ Obi in his latest single, Tobari.

The high-energy Afrobeats anthem seamlessly blends Afro-house grooves with playful street-pop energy, Yoruba chants and infectious rhythms, making it a perfect club banger.

The track features the self-acclaimed Kokomaster’s signature style, with catchy hooks like “that my koko drives her wild” and communal, dance floor-ready chants such as “To ba ri… ki le fe wa so?” that resonates with fans from Lagos to Johannesburg.

Coming off his recent album, The Entertainer: The Sequel, a project that featured collaborations with Louis Albert William Longomba, known professionally as Awilo Longomba, a Congolese soukous singer, songwriter, drummer, dancer and producer and Youssou N’Dour, a Senegalese composer, singer, occasional actor, businessman, and politician, D’banj merges the groove of his earlier bangers like Fall In Love, Why Me and Oliver Twist with contemporary amapiano beats, showcasing his ability to evolve while staying true to his roots after 20 years of excellence in Nigeria and global music scene.

More than just a track, Tobari solidifies D’banj’s status as a mainstay in Afric an pop culture, proving that he’s not just a legend basking in past glory but an active voice in today’s musical conversation.
