WATCH: Shatta Wale Apologizes To Samini And Kaakie

Published

on

The “Shatta City” hit maker came on stage on a giant cross and turned the Stadium upside down. He paused in the middle of his performance and had a heart to heart talk with his fans and the world.  “Big up to all the artistes on this show, big up to the artistes for passing through and big ups to the organizers. Big ups to my dance hall sister Kaakie who I insulted and I’m very sorry for everything I said. Big ups to my brother Samini who was supposed to perform tonight but I understand he is out of the country”. His remorseful statement was hailed with laud cheer from the charged crowd who kept chanting his name “Wale Wale” continuously. The self proclaimed ‘Dancehall King’ was overwhelmed and broke down in tears when the entire crowd at the stadium kept chanting his name “Wale Wale” as though he was a god. “Ooh! you people are making me cry. I have been crying all this while but nobody saw it because am wearing shades. Thank all of you so much and big up for supporting the Shatta movement”, he said as he took off his shades to show his tears. Bandana repeated the apology on Peace FM’s “Entertainment Review” last Saturday “Ghana is for all of us but some people are bringing confusion among us. If we look at the Politicians and how they handle their affairs they are one people but when it comes to issues they deal with it in their own respective way and I believe that as musicians we should come together like that and solve it because we are not doing it for ourselves but for the people of Ghana”. He even went ahead to plead with Samini to collaborate with him on a song and a big concert just for the two of them to perform together on one stage. “That is why am pleading with everybody through the media that I have never done any song with Samini before and I will wish that this year that thing will happen for Ghanaians to feel really happy because I know a whole lot of our fans are really looking out for that. I have spoken to a number of people to make sure this happens with me and Samini in a unity concert for Ghanaians to feel proud that they have great artistes like me and Samini”. It will be recalled that Bandana insulted dancehall queen Kaakie and Samini and their respective managements on several occasions after he lost the “Reggae/Dancehall artiste of the year” award to Kaakie at the 2013 Ghana Music Awards. However Samini and Kaakie’s management are yet to react to Shatta Wale’s apology and sudden U-turn.]]>

Rocky Dawuni & Kyekyeku “Africa Till I Die” Video Launches on Pan African Music!

Published

on

mail

Friendship between musicians often materializes in collaborations. This is clearly evident on one of the most beautiful pairings from Ghana in the last year, “Africa Till I Die” which grew out of the friendship between multiple GRAMMY nominee Rocky Dawuni and Ghanaian musician Kyekyeku. The brand new video for the track premieres today on Pan African Music.

According to Kyekyeku; ‘’I first heard Rocky in 1997 when his monster hit “In Ghana” was on constant rotation on the radio. It wasn’t until 2007 at the Labadi Beach Hotel on the occasion of the 40th Independence Celebration of Ghana where Rocky held his annual “Rocky Dawuni’s Independence Splash” concert that the two met for the first time.” Moving forward to 2022, at a concert at +233 Jazz Club, Kyekyeku invited Rocky on stage for an impromptu jam on one of his songs. After the concert, it was clear that they had finally found a groove and inspiration for a song to work together on.

After the chaos of the last few years, it became even more evident that a good place to visit and spend time was within Africa. The video was filmed in France and Ghana focusing on the dreams of Kyekyeku in conversation with Rocky on an old phone toy that you still see children playing with in the streets of Accra. It is evident that in those cold empty French streets Kyekyeku dreams to go over the Atlantic and join Rocky in Ghana as he performs with his band and enjoys the sunny weather, bustle and energy of Accra. The music video for “Africa Till I Die” was shot by Slingshot who has worked with Rocky on a number of videos including his most recent GRAMMY Nominated song “Neva Bow Down.” Slingshot states “this video seeks to depict Africa and its beautiful people in its own light, its own words and its very own story and not one portrayed by the skewed perception of the mainstream media of the west.”

Plus the line “no where cool’’ which refers to the wars in Europe, Middle East as well as the general dissatisfaction with daily living in many nations. As a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for the Environment for Africa, Rocky Dawuni has traveled to many nations and attests first hand from his encounters that indeed all life begins in Africa. ‘“People wey I dey meet, places wey I dey go, na ibi you be the mother, Mama Africa” which he sings in Pidgin English on the track.

African music has finally taken its place as a force; gaining the deserved recognition it commands. Rocky’s line ‘’Now my people dey stand like giant’’ speaks concisely of the achievements of many Africans across the globe.

Africa Till I Die is a musical success. It blends the native sound of Ghana, itself the product of a melting pot, with reggae born in Jamaica and claiming its African roots. The highlife rhythm has been slowed down and, by letting the bass flourish, the organ and the horns place their punctuations, offers a perfect backdrop for the reggae vocals, without even a skank guitar. This is the finest demonstration of a successful encounter, and it could only take place in Africa.”PanAfrican Music
