#FRESHOUT9jaUpdate Wizkid's 'AZONTO' Named As The Only African Non-American Summer Song Of 2013 | @WizkidAyo

According to New York city's BuzzFeed writer, Kris Andres, Azonto and seven other non-American songs are the top 2013 songs that can spice up your playlist for the summer road trip. Below are these songs.
 * Azonto by WizKid (Nigeria)
The title is derived from a popular dance movement in West Africa, originating in Ghana. The dance involves traditional African moves like knee bending and hip swaying, combined with wild, complex hand movements that supposedly mimic everyday activities.
* Blackout by Wretch32 featuring Shakka (United Kingdom)

This is considered as a stripped down beach house track, smothered with beautiful reggae influenced rapping.
* Big Banana by Havana Brown featuring R3hab and Prophet (Australia)

 This track is beach party worthy, with amazing synth hook.
* Biglang Liko by Ron Henley featuring Pow Chavez (Philippines)

Released in January, the track which means “Sudden Turn” has fresh synths ideal for summer road trips. The video, however, has a really sick ending.
* This Love by Shinhwa (South Korea)
This song talks about the fragility of true love, which goes along with the slow piano at the beginning and ending. It also features a lot of voguing in its choreography, a rarity in boy band territory.
* Invader Invader by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu (Japan)
This is a song by a 12 year old, who earlier dropped the masterpiece called “PonPonPon”. This hit is currently at #3 in Billboard’s Japan Hot 100.
* This Is What It Feels Like by Armin van Buuren featuring Trevor Guthrie (Netherlands)
Bringing the beauty of trance music to the beach houses this season. The special appearance of Ron Jeremy in the video should not be missed.
* Get Lucky by Daft Punk featuring Pharrell Williams (France)
This track features an American artist, but not including this French EDM duo in this list would be like not putting on sunscreen before heading to the beach.
