Bayou & Tawsen Link Up on Summer R&B Anthem ‘Kayani’

Fresh off the viral success of 'Ya Zeina', Bayou drops 'Kayani' , a breezy Arabic R&B single featuring rising Moroccan artist Tawsen. Produced by Jean Bleu (who has worked with Drake and Marwan Pablo) with additional touches by Grammy-winning producer Motif Alumni (Doja Cat, Don Toliver), 'Kayani' is tailored for summer: smooth, rhythmic, and flirtatiously light on its feet.

Opening with the line “ليلي ونهاري بتمشى لأخر افكاري” (“Day and night, I walk all the way to the edge of my thoughts”), Bayou leans into a melodic coolness that’s quickly becoming his signature. Tawsen, known for his genre-blurring French-Arabic delivery, blends seamlessly into the track’s sun-drenched tempo.

Shot on Egypt’s North Coast, the music video pulls inspiration from early-2000s reggaeton with sunlit scenes, loose choreography, and subtle surrealism.

The release also marks the start of Bayou’s summer tour, hitting Amsterdam, Berlin, London, Jeddah, and Riyadh between July 8th and the 18th.
