Singing in Kikongo, Siama describes the pride but also sadness parents feel when their kids do well in school and leave to begin their grown-up lives.
The song begins under the adept hands of cellist Jacqueline Ultan who sets the stage for JD Steele and Dallas' layered vocal harmonies.
Siama crafted Oyayeyo into an anthem, bringing most of the album's musicians together to celebrate a momentous occasion.
