Zule Zoo – Chin Kpan

"Chin Kpan" is a song by Zule Zoo, the title track of their 2006 album, released through Blue Pie Records. Formed in the late 1990s by Michael Aboh and Al-Hassan Ibrahim, two artists from Benue State, the duo had already built a following with genre blending records that mixed traditional Nigerian rhythms with hip hop and reggae, along with the controversial hit "Kerewa," which the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission banned for obscene content. "Chin Kpan" continued that same fusion sound, rooted in the pioneering Takuraku beat the duo helped popularize through the distinctive dance steps that made them one of Nigeria's top acts in the early 2000s. The album arrived roughly a year before Zule Zoo split up in 2008, closing out the most prominent chapter of the group's run together.
