The AKWA series marks a return to Mikano’s purest form of creation. It’s raw and explosive. It’s a beautiful and touching melting pot of disorganized emotions. AKWA II is more intimate and deeper than Mikano’s previous EP, taking the listener from one extreme to another – from a song tinged with sweetness, vulnerability, and fantasy to something inflated with roughness and overly confident energy, portraying the complexity of our personal growth and our relationships. AKWA is named after one of Douala’s districts in Cameroon, Akwa, where Mikano spent his early years.
Featuring this exciting nine-track EP is the new single ‘Touché Coulé’ which reflects Mikano’s determined mindset and flexible skills, with a playful music video that captures his life in Paris. Mikano has been lucky enough to visit the four corners of the world during the first part of his life. At 17, his family settled in Paris, where he began to compose and write, inspired by the music that touched him at each stage of his life and his travels.
