1. Yaa nshonaa. (“Go to the beach,” in Ga, one of our local languages.) Accra is by the sea, but most of the shore is heartbreakingly choked with trash. The exceptions are Labadi Beach, Kokrobite Beach (a longer trip from Accra), and Titanic Beach in Tema, named for that one time a ship ran aground. (What…

The Call for Artists…. Chale Wote Arts Festival 2019
PIDGIN IMAGINARIUM ABSTRACT In the last 500 years, the African continent has provided free labour for the Western imperial project. Whether via the triangular traffic of human-merchandise or conscription into two world wars, the implications of this brutal harvesting of bodies are yet to be fully measured. Presently, we are witnessing the rise of fascism…
The Sounds of Ghana : Ebony. Gone but not forgotten.
I was not a huge fan of Ebony despite meeting her a couple of times. The music was okay, mainstream local pop, and her musical message was not really one I shared.

The Sounds of Accra: Opanka, Sh*thole Country. #TruthHurts #WeWorryWednesday
Finally a voice in Ghana that is telling it how it is. Sure life is hard in Ghana, yes things are difficult and are challenging. And in so many ways, Opanka really nails it here in this song in reply to President Chump and his obnoxious comments about Africa. Things are hard, but in Ghana, and in most of Africa, so many use such an insult as a way to motivate themselves. But in Ghana, so few musicians will actually tell it in their music, or will actually put it in a song. So big credit here, here does not hold back.
The Sounds of Accra : Stonebwoy. Ghana’s main man…..
