Nioen The Night Club [2024 Remaster]

Among Southern All Stars’ songs, “Nioi En THE NIGHT CLUB” stands out as particularly unique.

Its hallmark is a sound that blends disco music with Latin music.

The A and B verses lean more toward disco, while the chorus leans toward Latin.

The mood shifts dramatically, so try singing with that contrast in mind.

By the way, there are English lyrics in the song, but the words themselves are simple, so they should be easy to pronounce.
