His contribution extends beyond vocals, embodying the spirit of cultural progression that defines the West African musical landscape.

Adama Condé, a musician who once graced the stage alongside the late Mory Kanté, imparts a mesmerizing Mandingue vibe to the song through the intricate play of guitars and balafon.

In this collaborative effort, "Papa" becomes a living testament to the interwoven threads of tradition and innovation, honoring the legacy of those who came before.

The Ancestral Mapiano remix introduces unexpected vocal recordings, adding a layer of intimacy to the composition.
