Mr. Dutch (@mrdutchempire) is a singer-songwriter from Nigeria. Not too long ago, he released a groovy afrobeats single, “Shekere,” through Dutch Dreams Records. The word shekere derived from a traditional West African percussion instrument made of beads woven into a net around a gourd, symbolizes festivity and rhythm.
