To kick things off, Axero filters in a rather cheeky saxophone riff. Accompanied by tasteful but groovy hand percussion, Axero solidifies the genre and style of this track before we&#8217;ve even caught a whiff of the upcoming chorus. After letting the very Duke Dumont-esque saxophone melody take centre stage for a few bars, Axero takes a creative approach with his following section. <br><br>Introducing a fun filled recording of call and response singing between a teacher and their pupils brings a new dimension to this tropical dance hit. (Personally, this section reminds me of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/0cmWgDlu9CwTgxPhf403hb?si=D2-MAAgOSqiht-gB3p0KSg\" target=\"_blank\">Bonobo <\/a>and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/6FUsQ3dkSd27KwQ1iCugSV?si=akkV52gOQ9ixMiGdpHfqIg\" target=\"_blank\">Innov Gnawa<\/a>&#8216;s <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/5EGJ7e7frJjYja6H4afzoT?si=ad2e88e05698497e\" target=\"_blank\">Bambro Koyo Ganda<\/a>, which can only ever be a good thing!). A quirky off-beat piano begins to take us away from the settings of the call and response sample, just before a sturdy and reliable four-on-the-floor kick pattern returns us to the groove. <br><br>All the prior elements introduced fall into place perfectly when the saxophone enters once again. The syncopated percussion dances around the groove, as the call and response sample is chopped masterfully to accent the sensationally summery saxophone. Production perfection! <br><br>Axero&#8217;s <em>Masaai <\/em>is the perfect tropical dance anthem to sync to your <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/collection\/festival-vlog-tunes\" target=\"_blank\">festival <\/a>or <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/collection\/travel-tunes\" target=\"_blank\">travel <\/a>vlog, summery YouTube video, or your <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/collection\/uplifting-upbeat-music\" target=\"_blank\">upbeat<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/collection\/morning-motivation\" target=\"_blank\">motivational<\/a> themed content.
