The acclaimed Nigerian music producer Masterkraft is back on Coke Studio Africa this season!

His first set of artistes to work with will be Cynthia Morgan and Henok Mehari.

While at Coke Studio Africa, Cynthia Morgan spoke on the inspiration behind her hit record “German Juice” and how it relates to women empowerment. “Men always write songs for women but we hardly make songs for ourselves.

"I wanted a song that would appreciate the woman because we are strong. I asked myself, [‘What’s the strongest juice? And then I thought when I was young and loved German cars and how strong they are. That’s where I got the reference for the song’s title]”.
