EYAA introduce “Luku Luku,” a driving, satirical single that explores the relationship between viral culture, political history, and the way society consumes information. Released on 2 October 2026, the track takes inspiration from the familiar habit of endlessly scrolling through a phone screen, turning the rhythm of digital consumption into a musical and social commentary.
At the centre of the track is the chanted hook “Stukuluku luku luku,” an onomatopoeic expression that captures the repetitive motion of scrolling in search of the next hit of news. The lyrics, delivered by Kyekyeku, move between a street scene consumed like viral content and the deeper history hidden beneath it. Behind the surface lies a reflection on colonial plunder, political power, demands for gratitude, and the absurdities that often go unquestioned.
Rather than delivering its message through solemn protest, EYAA embrace contrast. A driving club beat and sarcastic energy carry the track’s sharper observations, allowing listeners to move to the rhythm while considering what the lyrics reveal. The result captures the tension between being entertained by what appears on a screen and taking the time to understand the realities behind it.
“Luku Luku” is built around the trio’s distinctive musical interplay: Kyekyeku’s vocals, Fred Faure’s drums, and Kevin Bucquet’s bass, synths, and machines. Traditional Highlife rhythms are reworked through the 808, connecting their rhythmic heritage with the legacy of Afrobeat and contemporary urban electronic production. Designed for both attentive listening and live performance, the track balances musical movement with thought-provoking storytelling.
The single marks the beginning of a series of five releases leading to EYAA’s first EP. With more music and live shows planned for 2027, “Luku Luku” sets the tone for the trio’s forthcoming chapter, bringing together rhythmic experimentation, biting social commentary, and a sound that invites audiences to dance while questioning what they consume.
