The Kannywood internet space has been hijacked by a new sound, and the numbers are staggering.
In just three weeks, the official theme song “Kina Burgeni Balaraba” (from the upcoming series Balaraba) has amassed over 511,000 views on YouTube and generated a massive 437,000 videos on TikTok. But what is driving this viral frenzy?
Produced by the cinematic giant, Maishadda Global Resources (led by Abubakar Bashir Maishadda), the song brings together two heavyweights of Hausa music: Naziru Sarkin Waka and Fati Niger.
The “Maishadda” Factor & Fan Reactions. While the vocals are top-tier, the visualizer video featuring the producer himself, Abubakar Bashir Maishadda, dancing alongside actress Auta, has sparked a massive conversation online.
Fans were quick to hop into the comments to tease the producer about his smooth moves, while others joked about his wife.
One TikTok user, user478637, commented: “Matan yan film suna hakuri wallahi” (Film producers’ wives are really patient), hinting at the on-screen chemistry. Another user, Maryama, added: “Lah mijin wata” (Look at someone’s husband), highlighting the video’s playful nature.
Despite the jokes, fans are praising the production quality, with comments like “Yaro baya Maishadda wallahi” dominating the feed.
The Viral Lyrics: What is Fati Niger Saying? The specific part of the song that has taken over TikTok features a catchy call-and-response between Fati Niger and Naziru. It captures the essence of falling deeply in love.
Fati Niger sings: “Wani dan yaro na gano sai naji kunya ma dana leko… Ahh soyayya na biyo sai naga na kare a tukunya.” (I spotted a young man and felt shy… I followed love and ended up in the cooking pot/deep in it).
Naziru responds: “Komai yarda ne ni na yarje karkiyi baya.” (Everything is agreed, I have approved it, don’t turn back).
Fati concludes the viral verse: “Jirgin soyayya yatada sai na riki baya… Ahh so dangin madara in kasha saika tafi kaima ni na zabe ka bana so ma in kalli kowa.”
