Zambian dancehall gets a fresh dose of energy as Deborah, also known as Deborah Music, returns with her buzzing track “Akatambo.” Produced by Kofimix, the record combines contemporary dancehall elements with a nostalgic touch that gives it a distinct character.
“Akatambo” stands out for its retro-inspired sound, built around a vocal sample from Sade Adu’s 1985 classic “Is It a Crime.” The familiar soul-driven element adds a smooth contrast to Deborah’s bold and energetic delivery, creating a record that connects classic sounds with modern Zambian music.
The track has continued to attract attention across social media, particularly on TikTok, where its catchy feel has helped push the song to a wider audience. Deborah’s expressive style also adds to the personality of the record, keeping “Akatambo” firmly in the spotlight.
Following the release of its official music video on September 14, 2026, “Akatambo” gives listeners another reason to revisit the track and experience Deborah’s distinctive dancehall sound.
