It has been a few years since the global success of ‘Great Spirit’ (well over a hundred million streams on Spotify) and ‘United’ (over 40 million Spotify streams), but Armin van Buuren and Vini Vici haven’t lost any of the momentum since. Both acts have been turning heads with a myriad of dance floor bangers and high-profile collabs, and they now raise the bar even higher with an incredible artwork design, a music video shot during the A State Of Trance ADE event at AFAS Live, and of course a super-energetic record designed to blast sound systems to bits: ‘Yama’ (feat. Tribal Dance & Natalie Wamba).

Featuring the uplifting vocal chants of Tribal Dance and Natalie Wamba, ‘Yama’ instantly makes its mark as a ground-shaking collision of Armin van Buuren and Vini Vici’s globally renowned signature sounds. From the uplifting and openhearted intro to the inevitably colossal beat drop, this track is sure to cause some serious dance floor damage with every play.

Armin van Buuren: “I had a blast working with Vini Vici on ‘Great Spirit’ and ‘United’ back in 2016 and 2018, and although a few years had passed since, I always felt that it’d be great to do a third collab. So we all jumped at the opportunity when it finally arose and ‘Yama’ is the outcome. Our trademark sounds are especially compatible and I’m positive ‘Yama’ will be ruling dance floors for a long time to come.”

Vini Vici: “Dropping this tune b2b with Armin van Buuren during last week’s ASOT event was an amazing experience, and we’re super excited about our third collaboration! It took us a while to produce this song and we did it during the crux of the pandemic. Needless to say, it took a lot of hard work to get this final result.”
