LadyJaywah‘s first official single – and nope, it’s not the fantastic soulful jazz we’ve been getting used to at her live performances here in Ghana. She hits us from a totally different angle, hard spittin’ raps over a tight azonto beat, courtesy of EL, also featured on the song.
Monkey money… some of that easy come easy go sakawa cash… LadyJaywah is not easily acquired however, and this song is a hilarious chase between her and a big money man – played by EL.
Once upon a time, long before I started Akwaaba, I DJed a birthday party in Los Angeles for a group of groovy creative types. Turns out to be the birthday boy was filmmaker Jarreth Merz, who would later on piece together An African Election, a fantastic documentary about the 2008 elections in Ghana. The movie paints a compelling portrait of politics in Ghana, giving a much needed nuanced overview of the realities behind Ghana’s 2008 elections, which Western nations often consider Africa’s current democratic success story. I was lucky enough to see the movie last year, but unfortunately most Ghanaians have yet to watch it.
In an effort to spread knowledge about democracy in Ghana, and to ensure peaceful elections next December, Jarreth is going a step further with A Political Safari, by pushing for a grassroots campaign through Ghana’s different regions: his plan is to have the movie translated into the 5 most common languages in Ghana: Twi, Ga, Ewe, Dagbani and Hausa. Then to have a mobile truck bring the movie to the people, particularly in remote areas where the electoral process is most sensitive.
Of course, this fantastic project comes with a price tag, one that we strongly encourage you to chip into. This is a project with legs, this is a project that may actually make a difference next fall. Especially after president Atta Mills’ sudden death last Tuesday, which adds yet another odd twist to Ghana’s election campaign.

Music, especially of the loud, danceable kind, is ubiquitous in most of Africa. Yet DJs, the artisans behind the walls of sound, often remain in the shadow. This is not how we roll: we want you to find out who is pushing the envelope throughout the continent. This...

R2Bees are just effin with people’s heads! NOBODY will expect them to drop a highlife song, and that’s just where the hit making duo is hitting us from. Killbeatz is behind this one once again… a nice warm up before the massive Africa Unplugged show August 27th in London. That and more shbows in North America right afterwards.
Can you believe the way Mugeez gets down on this song? By the way, for the non-Ghanaians out there… Odo means looooooove. Of course!
If you don’t know about DJ Juls you should read this piece first. No boombap hip hop beats here, just some irresistibly upbeat sounds from Ghana, Naija, SA… including – among others, the Chuck Wild remix of Azingele by Ruff-N-Smooth, of course some unavoidable E.L. action, and even Premier Gaou!!! Nice to see some Francophone love from a Ghanaian head. Chale afrobeat dey 4 ur head inside, don’t sleep!
