Mavin record musicians, Johnny Drille and Di’ja collaborate to release to first Hausa love song you have ever heard – My Dear. Although there was a mix of English language, some vital part of the song was in Hausa.
My Dear by Johnny Drille and Di’ja is out and we’ve got the lyrics of “My Dear” for you, although under review.
My Dear is a romantic song fine-tuned to bring together lovers who are miles apart not just by distance. This is the first time Johnny Drille is singing a piece of music in Hausa, well thanks to Di’Ja, a Hausa lady whose music is centered in the Hausa native language.
