“Machala” is a viral sensation, mid-tempo Afrobeats and Amapiano infused track that finds Carterefe and Berri Tiga celebrating the Wizkid, singing, “Gat me looking like Machala ooh, I jam Wizkid for Ghana ooh, when I dance my Makosa, people dey craze for Instagram.”
Wizkid gained the nickname “Machala”, Nigerian slang for “lion”, “man of the people”, for his great achievements and global status, and his immerse contribution to the globalisation of Afrobeats. Machala lyrics.
