Leaping Tiger’s new single ‘Aquasavana’ blends Afrobeats and pop, capturing the joy and nostalgia of summer memories.
New Zealand-born electronic producer Jacob Park, best known as Leaping Tiger, is back with a new single, ‘Aquasavana’. Following his critically acclaimed albums, Porcelain Orca Whales, Soulsleep and Godspeed, Leaping Tiger’s latest offering blends genre in ways only he can, providing the perfect backdrop for summer memories and those moments permeated through the warmer months.
