UK Afrobeats powerhouse Great Adamz joins forces with internationally acclaimed Romanian DJ and producer Manuel Riva for their electrifying new single ‘Umada’.
Blending deep, ritualistic Afro-House grooves with haunting vocal textures and cinematic melodic builds, ‘Umada’ sits at the powerful crossroads of underground African sound and European melodic dance. The collaboration showcases the natural chemistry between Riva’s emotional, club-ready soundscapes and Great Adamz’s rich, expressive delivery — creating a spiritual, groove-heavy track that feels both rooted and transcendent.
Manuel Riva shares: “Collaborating with Great Adamz felt organic — his voice became part of the track’s identity from the very first take.”
Great Adamz adds: “‘Umada’ is a very interesting record that really challenged me as an artist. Collaborating with Manuel Riva helped me deliver a versatile range 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.”
The release arrives at a huge moment for Great Adamz, who is currently sitting at No.1 on Music Week’s Black Music Chart with his hit ‘Jeje’. As a MOBO Unsung Class of 2022 alumnus, he continues to rise as one of the UK’s brightest Afrobeats voices, with past collaborations including the standout track ‘Kilon So’ and major festival performances.
Manuel Riva is a Billboard-charting producer whose releases have amassed tens of millions of streams worldwide. His breakout hits ‘Mhm Mhm’ and ‘Miami’ (with Alexandra Stan) became global dance anthems, earning MTV Europe Music Awards recognition and support from Tiësto, Oliver Heldens, Sam Feldt, and Fedde Le Grand.
