Brand new video to ‘Celebrate’, one of the most catchy tunes off Daara J Family’s 2010 album ‘School of life’. Like the twist-inspired composition, the video is a throwback to the stylish dances of our parents’ generation.<\/p>\n

The video must have also drawn inspiration from ‘Le jour d’apres’, Baloji’s take on ‘Independence cha cha’ which saw the rapper time traveling to a musical club back in the younger days of his (grand)parents:<\/p>\n
