Ghanaian Afro Roots musician, songwriter, producer and activist Rocky Dawuni has just released a new video for the track “Beautiful People.” The song appears on his new EP “Voice of Bunbon, Vol. 1” that explores the diversity of Rocky’s signature “Afro Roots” sound, fusing modern and traditional musical trends in Ghana and across the African continent.
The EP incorporates Afrobeats, Highlife, Reggae, Soul, Pop and traditional African music. In line with the album’s theme of highlighting indigenous culture, Rocky launched the EP with Uborr Wumbe Dawuni, Chief of Bunbon, Northern Ghana in December 2020 in conjunction with their annual Linujil (harvest) festival.
“The video is intended to showcase indigenous ways and traditional culture in a time when our world needs reconnection with an identity that anchors us in our real nature. This is also a statement to focus on solutions that are nature based and magnifies the opportunity for life to keep thriving on our planet,” says Rocky.
