Singing in our own languages was something I started taking for granted because I saw it as the standard or norm everywhere. But reading this reminds me of how almost everyone in the west is singing in English. I guess there really is beauty in the unique nature of the songs around here. We just seem to lose the ability to see it because we’re living it and it’s become so normal to us.

A friend of mine was telling me last week she was considering going to this Pure Akan show in Accra last week. I didn’t understand why at first, but she explained that the he was really good, his tickets were cheaper, and you get to actually see the show in comfort as compared to the expensive stadium-size shows most of the popular artists we love hold. I’m definitely going to check him out now.

As for Worlasi, House Portay is (was*) the only song I’ve heard from him and I’m honestly surprised how I didn’t look into him much after that. I liked House Portay. It had this cool relaxing tune to it, ideal to play at house parties (pun intended, but true. Lol) and the message was basically knowing your level and staying in your lane. After listening to Veku, I’m liking him even more as it seems calm singing is his style. There’s no shouting or high pitched sounds there and his stuff will be good for relaxing.

Everyone else here, I just discovered thanks to you, which is actually a bit embarrassing given that they’re my country folk. Anyways, you have some good taste, man. Thanks for showcasing these talents:)
