Speaking on their return since the release of their critically acclaimed 2018 debut album, Navy Kenzo said the song is a celebration of their African heritage.

“We are proud of Africa and Fella is a show of how we embrace and celebration of Africa,” said Nahreel.

“As Navy Kenzo we have never showcased this kind of African expression in our videos – making many people always wonder if we do come from Africa.”

The concept and idea behind Fella is a celebration of Africa’s diverse music styles, avant-garde fashion culture and the richness of the continent.

Its music video was shot and directed in Bagamoyo, Tanzania by celebrated South African director Justin Campos – a long-term collaborator of Navy Kenzo.

Nahreel says, “For the first time, we [Aika and I] took up the creative direction of our music video; from the fashion and hair stylists, makeup artists to designers.”
