Best Ghana Music Mix |TOP| Download

I wanted to share some amazing music from Ghana and start a conversation about popular (non-"traditional") music from the country. I am not an expert by any means but wanted to get thoughts from others who may be. From my limited exposure, the country has produced some *really interesting* musicians that I was shocked were not more popular - be it amongst my friends, the online community, or even on rating sites like RYM.

To start things off, I want to share the song Yemmpa Aba by Ata Kak, an artist who was largely introduced to the West thanks to the "Tapes from Africa" series put out by Brian Shimkowitz. The song, recorded in the early 90s while Ata Kak was an expat in Canada, is classified as "Hiplife" on RYM, but to me it sounds like old-school lofi house. Parts of it sound like they were recorded on a Wesley Willis Casio, but then the indelible female vocal hook (0:54s in) starts looping and bam - instantly addicted. The album Obaa Sima is a bit uneven but is catchy and listenable throughout, and uniquely FRESH. This just doesn't sound very familiar to me, despite the aforementioned elements of early 90s house. This music was pretty much lost/forgotten and never got any airplay. But I'm glad it surfaced again.

The second example is definitely less obscure, but still relatively unknown. Ebo Taylor is a well-known legend of Highlife/Afrobeat, but not nearly as celebrated internationally as contemporaries like Fela Kuti. I recently came across the song "You Need Love" off of his 1980 "Conflict Nkru!" album. Despite the painfully generic song title, this must be heard. The repetitive playful interplay between the electric piano and the trumpet are completely mesmerizing. How is this song not an absolutely ubiquitous standard across the globe? Feel good, fresh, original, irresistible. I can't help but play it on repeat, and I usually go for moody music over upbeat. A must listen.

Music is an important tool to lift people out of poverty. Across the world, there are countless examples of artists building massive success to go from "zero to hero", and many use that success to give back to their communities. But, more than providing a route out of individual poverty, music also has the ability to unite the world, inspire generations, and grow movements.

Now, partly thanks to TikTok and other social platforms, unity through music is easier to achieve than ever, and we need a unified world with a strong, singular voice calling for change in order to stand a chance at defeating poverty once and for all.

For young artists in Ghana, not only is TikTok helping to make their career dreams come true, it is also helping to take Ghanaian music to the global stage, and show the world that Africa is a place of unmatched talent, rhythm, and movement.

In the spirit of bringing the world together through music and counting down to Global Citizen Festival: Accra, here are some of the Ghanaian artists and their songs that have taken TikTok, and the world, by storm.

I had this firm belief and I still do, that, Ghanaian artists are more talented than Nigerian artists in general. Even until recently, I was so convinced with myself that we make better music than them.

Personally, always changing channels to see which content I prefer the most to watch, chanced on a channel (Crystal Prime) which plays 100% Ghanaian music during the day between the hours of 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm thereabout.

Trust me, the quality of music was glaringly obvious between the two. At least, there were potential in the fewer quality songs I heard from the Nigerian artists I watched and listened to. I, was, however, extremely disappointed in some artists I listened to from Ghana here.

But then again, talent alone is not enough. There are very talented young artists making good music in this country and all they need is a little push or a proper system where the business-wise of music is acknowledged.

Many might not notice but there are few who have emerged in the music scene here in Ghana recently. Bosom P-Yung, Herman $uede, Black Sherif, and this year the breakthrough of the Kumerica boys and a few others I forgot to mention.

Compare this to the Nigerian music scene where just only last year till now, we have seen considerable many artists emerging from there such as Rema, Fireboy, Omah Lay, Oxlade, Buju, just to mention a few who are even dominating our apple music album chart and top songs even better than our mainstream acts. Unfathomable! But they are not there just by chance.

This is just what I see on social media, so just imagine what they are doing behind the scenes to get their music out there. I follow this PR (Public Relations) agency on Twitter/Instagram as I am a PR student myself.

We are what we listen to. If our FM & TV stations take it upon themselves to play 90% of Ghanaian music, we will develop more taste for Ghanaian music. Collaborating with Nigerian artists and producers will also help.

It is no surprise Nigeria is doing far better than us in the music scene and dominating our media and chart on the streaming platforms. To think there was a time when VIP, Tic Tac, and others were dominating the Nigerian music scene till now that about two songs are in the top 10 of the apple music Top 100 in Ghana.

Indeed, we have retrogressed. I recently watched a video of a Ghanaian wedding where they were playing only Nigerian music to the extent that some people even thought it was a wedding in Nigeria rather than Ghana.

Unbelievably, 'No 1 Mango Street' is the first international release by M3NSA, but what an album. Rooted in hiplife, this album is full of summery good times tunes, including the joyful single No One Knows. Rhyming in Twi, Pidgin and English, the songs never forget Ghana, despite his transitory lifestyle crossing continents. Kubolor is one of several Ghanaian musicians appearing on the album.

We Americans have some very different ideas about music. Here, it's an industry, a part of the GNP-- even others countries' folk music is a commodity. Playing music is a learned skill for most of us, a luxury, even a solitary form of expression, often never shared with the world at large. Meanwhile, in parts of the third world, music is part and parcel with daily life, a communal language infused with ceremony, and integral to daily life.

Perhaps this helps explain why so little recorded music comes to us from outside the sphere of industrialized nations-- there's little focus on distributing and selling recorded music, even music with obvious commercial potential, in societies where making music isn't widely viewed as the province of the few. All this makes a compilation like Ghana Soundz: Afro-Beat, Funk and Fusion in 70s Ghana somewhat bittersweet. Bitter because it's obvious that, without direct Western influence and a certain compromising of traditional lifestyles, this music never would have been made; sweet because the music is so, so good. 006ab0faaa
