French-Ghanaian trio EYAA are set to introduce their sound with “Luku Luku”, a dancefloor-ready Afro-electro single that explores the modern habit of scrolling through news and viral content without stopping to process what lies beneath it.
Released on October 2, 2026, the track is built around the repeated chant “Stukuluku luku luku”, an onomatopoeic take on the familiar thumb movement of scrolling through an endless social media feed. Sung in Twi, Pidgin and English, the song uses this everyday gesture to explore how people consume everything from viral street scenes to political realities with little room for reflection.
Through Kyekyeku’s lyrics, “Luku Luku” moves between the spectacle of a street scene captured on a phone and the deeper history it conceals. Colonial exploitation, political power, demands for gratitude and the absurdities of authority all feature in a narrative that challenges listeners to look beyond what is immediately presented to them.
Rather than delivering its critique through a solemn sound, EYAA lean into an infectious, driving club rhythm with a sarcastic edge. The result is a deliberate contrast: music that gets the body moving even as its lyrics question the tendency to scroll past uncomfortable realities.
The trio’s musical identity comes through in the interplay of Kyekyeku’s vocals, Fred Faure’s drums, and Kevin Bucquet’s bass, synths and electronic machines. Traditional highlife rhythms are reworked through 808 production, meeting the influence of Afrobeat in a contemporary electronic arrangement designed for both attentive listening and live performance.
“Luku Luku” is the first of five singles planned ahead of EYAA’s debut EP, with more music and live performances expected in 2027. The trio marked the release with a performance alongside BCUC at Atabal in Biarritz on October 2.
The single is available on streaming platforms.
