Galala is characterized by it's reggae-dancehall feel, syncopaton and dance routines that accompany the music.
A variation of dancehall music that originates from Nigeria
Galala is performed in Pidgin English, a vernacular embraced by Nigeria's urban communities, notably in the ghetto, yet understood across the nation.
Galala draws inspiration from various themes prevalent in ghetto life, including struggles with malnutrition, bravado challenges, mockery, petty crimes like pickpocketing, and other less savory aspects of everyday life.
The vibrant Nigerian Ghetto culture has played a huge role in the development of this music and the dance routines.
The timbre in Galala music is characterized by its percussive elements, which contribute to a vibrant and energetic sound.
