The much anticipated new single from Ghana’s
Yaa Pono is finally here –
“Amen”
The song is inspired by
his recent performance at “Felabration 2013” at Lagos’ New Shrine as one of Pidgen Music’s Ghanaian contingent.
“Amen” contains elements of
chants heard from the Shrine’s audience which serve as a fitting tribute to the Pioneer and King of Afrobeat, Fela Anikulapo Kuti.
Pono was especially moved by Fela’s positive and
proactive
message to the World, and also the hustle of African life; to encourage
us to remain determined and hard work toward goals in order to reach
them.
“Amen” showcases the unique
versatility of the 2011
