Have you seen Alwayne Love’s visuals for “Africa The Motherland”?

Last summer, emerging artist Alwayne Love, in collaboration with T25 Records Inc., released “Africa The Motherland”. The roots-reggae single is a tribute to the African continent and its far-reaching contributions to the world.

Not long after it was first released, the single inspired a remix reimagined as a house track by accomplished music producer and audio engineer Shaanti Kosmo, known for working with Julian Marley and for creating remixes for international stars such as Miley Cyrus, Ellie Goulding, and Doug E. Fresh. This crossover version added a new dimension to “Africa The Motherland”, broadening its appeal beyond reggae’s core audience.

Fast forward to two months ago, T25 Records published the music videos for both the original and the remix of “Africa The Motherland”. For those who have not yet seen them, the videos are available on T25 Records‘ YouTube channel—click here or on the image above to watch.
