Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal has recently sparked a cultural phenomenon by dancing to "Shekini," a hit song by the Nigerian music duo P-Square.
This unexpected fusion of football and music comes after his exploits in Barcelona's 4-3 victory over Real Madrid in El Clásico.

"Shekini," released by P-Square in 2014 as part of their album Double Trouble, is a classic Afrobeat song.
Its revival by Yamal introduces the track to a new, international audience, particularly within the football community.
This comes after Yamal had already breathed new life into Skales' "Shake Body," a 2015 hit that gained unexpected popularity when Yamal and other footballers danced to it.

Yamal's dance to "Shekini" was captured in a video that quickly went viral on social media, amassing significant attention.
The footage shows Yamal and his friends grooving to the song in a casual setting.
The reaction on social media has been overwhelmingly positive, with fans and commentators praising Yamal for his dance skills and for bringing attention to African music.
P-Square, consisting of twin brothers Peter and Paul Okoye, have been encouraged to embrace the resurgence thanks to Yamal just as Skales did.
