Kabusa Oriental Choir Reimagines Kehlani’s ‘Folded’ with Soulful Afro-R&B Warmth

Kabusa Oriental Choir delivers a stunning new interpretation of ‘Folded’, breathing fresh life into Kehlani’s emotional record with rich harmonies, Afro-soul textures, and deeply moving vocal arrangements.

Known for turning popular songs into unforgettable choir experiences, the Abuja-based collective first captured global attention with their viral mashup of Kizz Daniel’s “Yeba” and DJ Spinall’s “Baba”.

Founded by choir director Austin Chinemezu Nwamara in 2019, Kabusa Oriental Choir quickly evolved from internet sensations into one of Nigeria’s most creative musical groups, later scoring massive success with the viral anthem “Valentine Is Coming.”

With ‘Folded’, the choir takes a softer, more intimate approach, creating a soundscape that beautifully bridges melodic R&B and traditional soul.

The remix carries the emotional vulnerability of the original track while adding organic warmth through layered harmonies and heartfelt delivery.

It feels cinematic yet deeply personal the kind of song made for quiet nights, reflective moments, and late-night drives.

Rather than overpowering the emotion of the song, Kabusa Oriental Choir leans into sincerity, allowing every note and vocal blend to breathe naturally.

The performance feels raw, soulful, and emotionally honest, proving once again that the choir’s strength lies in transforming familiar songs into fresh emotional experiences.

What makes this rendition stand out is its balance between modern R&B moodiness and African choral richness.

The result is a remix that feels both soothing and captivating, drawing listeners deeper into the emotion behind every lyric.

With ‘Folded’, Kabusa Oriental Choir continues to show why they remain one of the most innovative vocal collectives in Africa, blending creativity, culture, and emotion into music that truly resonates.
