South African music producer and DJ Gaba Cannal presents a new spiritual declaration with his project EL ROI: The God Who Sees Me. The work includes the single Feel The Fire featuring the City Choir, released as part of an eight-track extended play. Industry observers now refer to Gaba Cannal, born Khaka Yena in Daveyton, as a foundational architect of the amapiano sound. His career began with a hip-hop production focus before he helped define and popularize a soulful house interpretation of amapiano that commands global attention.

The artist established his independent operation, Gaba Cannal Music Pty-Ltd, a decade ago following his debut EP Abundance. His professional journey includes a nomination at the South African Music Awards and chart success on stations like Good Hope FM. Collaborations with major artists like Busiswa and performances across Southern Africa built his reputation. The new project’s title, EL ROI, derives from a biblical term meaning “The God Who Sees,” framing the music as a testament of faith and vision.
This release continues the producer’s pattern of integrating spiritual themes with dancefloor rhythm, a progression heard in previous works like Great I Am and Agape. The project solidifies his role in shaping the genre’s direction from its grassroots origins to its current international stature. Feel The Fire with City Choir stands as a central piece of this musical offering.
