Fready drops video for ‘Awala’ (REY MYSTERIOUS)
Fready, who hails from Takoradi, Ghana, and has an Nzema background, integrates elements of his upbringing into his music, including the use of local lingo like “Awala.”
This term, popular in the Western side of Ghana, specifically Takoradi, adds a unique regional flavor to this song. In his latest track, Fready draws inspiration from the festive “Ankos” celebrations that occur during Christmas in Ghana.
These celebrations involve wearing masks and vibrant clothing while dancing through the city streets. Fready cleverly incorporates a reference to the iconic wrestler Rey Mysterio, blending traditional festival imagery with contemporary pop culture influences.
The result is a catchy and danceable Amapiano song that pays homage to Fready’s cultural roots and personal experiences.
