Hassan’adas is a melting pot of African influenced genres from around the globe.

They have a new single coming out soon and it keeps with that tradition. It is called “ Where’s The Moollah” and is a light hearted reference to the challenges of the music industry. It is a vocal song peppered with Afro, reggae and Latin spices with edgy rock influenced guitar sounds. It has a warm, smooth, easy going mood and good energy. An all round good vibe song.
