We bring you the first edition of Godfrey Times African Rhythms (GTAR), where we celebrate Africa’s growth and advancement in the realms of music, just as we announced.
Sarkodie’s ‘Broken Heart,’ ‘Take My Love,’ and ‘Happy Day,’ in which he featured Sister Afia, Tekno, and Kuami Eugene, kick off this celebration.
‘Broken Heart‘
Sista Afia’s vocal juice is so sweet to listen to when she sings. Some of this juice was poured into the Ghanaian musical offering’s song ‘Broken Heart,’ in which she was featured by Sarkodie singing:
Sɛ nyɛ broken heart Sisa w'akoma buɔ na fa ma me ɔdɔ eh Ɔdɔ eeeh Ɛndi awrɛho the love I have eno be joke oh My babe babe Baby Nti bra me nkyen ma me bo wo nkomɔ be Me nkomɔ nyanaa ne dɛɛ Fa w'akoma ma me somu yie Bra me nkyen ma me dɔ wo papabe Kyerɛ wo mpina dadano sɛ I will love you very well
Isn’t she a true musical genius?
‘Take My Love’
Nigeria and Ghana are wonderful sports rivals, and despite Nigeria’s economic strength, the Gold Coast still competes economically with (the country they refer to as their big brother) and, unexpectedly, wins. The jollof war exemplifies the rivalry even in food. But there is one place where their love for each other emerges, both known and unknown to them: music. Music unites them as a couple in love, and they are thriving in it. And this is evident in the song “Take My Love,” in which Tekno, a delightful Nigerian musical act, proposes his love and Sarkodie, who featured him amplifies the feel of the proposal with his rap power. Beloved, we hope you enjoy the song.
‘Happy Day’
Kuami Eugene, who identifies himself as a rock star, bestowed his vocal prowess on the song ‘Happy Day,’ which was accompanied by Sarkodie’s dynamic rap flow. The rap god, as identified by Ghanaians on the Gold Coast and in the diaspora, has turned the Twi language into a delight for those who don’t understand it but admire his peculiar lyrical flow.
