TiTi Owusu Showcases Ghanaian Heritage in Visuals for “Make Me Believe (Nana)”
Days after announcing her deal with Sony Music Publishing, TiTi Owusu has shared a live performance video for her latest single, “Make Me Believe (Nana).” The performance featuring the Ghanaian band SenkuLive is a visual masterpiece that pays homage to her Ghanaian heritage. Released on August 7th, the video highlights the artist’s musical prowess and captivating stage presence.
The video shot in the Telande Tea Gardens opens with a breathtaking view of TiTi Owusu, SenkuLive, and the backing vocalists. The Ghanaian singer is draped in a red silk booboo and adorned with Afrocentric accessories that symbolise her connection to her roots. TiTi Owusu’s graceful movements, emotive expressions, and powerful vocals are proof of her confidence and charisma as a live performer.
“Make Me Believe (Nana)” showcases Owusu’s deep connection to her Ghanaian heritage. The track’s infectious groove draws inspiration from the traditional ‘Adowa’ music of the Ashanti people in Ghana, West Africa. It seamlessly blends the rhythmic elements of ‘Adowa’ with the soothing melodies influenced by Ghanaian High-Life Music and Contemporary Pop Music.
Produced by a collaborative team including Jayso, Kaasare, Klasikbeatz, and Owura and written by TiTi Owusu and Jayso, the song is a testament to the artist’s commitment to delivering heartfelt and relatable music.
