'a massive grower in africa' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'abba remix featuring zero bass' is the wordplay.
'remix' indicates anagramming the letters (letters mixed up).
'featuring' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'zero' becomes 'O' (O resembles 0).
'bass' becomes 'b' (musical abbreviation).
'abba' is an anagram of 'baba'.
'baba' going around 'o' is 'baoba'.
'baoba'+'b'='BAOBAB'

'is' acts as a link.
