Manuel Riva & Great Adamz – UMADA (Mastapeace Beats Remix)

Manuel Riva and Great Adamz Support their Music Week Charting Single, “Umada” with New Remix from Hit-Producer, Mastapeace Beats.

UK Afrobeats powerhouse Great Adamz joins forces with internationally acclaimed Romanian DJ/Producer Manuel Riva for their electrifying new single ‘Umada’. Now, as the single climbs Music Week’s Upfront Club and Black Music charts, the artists support their collab with a remix from Mastapeace Beats.

Known for his soulful blend of Afrobeat, Gospel and contemporary sounds, Mastapeace Beats has become a rising force in the Nigerian music scene and beyond, producing music for notable artists both locally and internationally. For his new mix the hit-producer elevates the deep, ritualistic grooves of “Umada”, amplifying the hypnotic rhythms with hard-hitting drums and basslines.

The remix brings a new energy to the track, and builds upon natural chemistry between Riva’s emotional soundscapes and Adamz’s expressive vocal delivery.

Speaking about the collaboration, Manuel Riva says that “collaborating with Great Adamz felt organic—his voice became part of the track’s identity from the very first take.” Great Adamz mentioned how “‘Umada’ is a very interesting record that really challenged me as an artist. Collaborating with Manuel Riva helped me to deliver a versatile range that I have never obtained before. The song is very centric and spiritual, filled with melodies and grooving beats. You will dance to it, laugh with your friends to it, road trip to it, and it will become part of your life routine.”
