Ghanaian music enthusiasts are in for a holiday delight as Kwaysi joins forces with DJ Boat to deliver a festive anthem titled Detty December. Produced by Rhythm Style, the track perfectly encapsulates the vibrancy, energy, and joy of Ghana’s much-anticipated December festivities.
The song’s lyrics bring to life the essence of “Detty December,” a popular term that celebrates Ghana’s dynamic end-of-year activities. This period is marked by bustling nightclubs, star-studded events, and globally recognized festivals like AfroNation, Afrochella, Festival of Plays, Rapperholic, and Manifestivities. These celebrations have become a cornerstone of Ghana’s cultural calendar, drawing locals and the diaspora alike.
Kwaysi’s verses reflect themes of hard work and celebration, resonating with lines such as, “Forget about your worry bcos from January to December we dey hustle,” which salute the year-long efforts of Ghanaians, culminating in the December festivities. The song also touches on the experiences of Ghanaians living abroad, acknowledging their challenges while emphasizing the importance of savoring the fruits of their labor.
DJ Boat’s contribution elevates the track with masterful beats that harmonize seamlessly with Kwaysi’s dynamic delivery. The result is a vibrant anthem that not only gets listeners dancing but also pays tribute to the resilience and celebratory spirit of Ghanaians.
As November comes to a close, Detty December serves as a timely reminder to gear up for Ghana’s ultimate holiday experience. The song concludes with a heartfelt invitation:
“I want to take this opportunity to invite everyone in the diaspora, come home. At least, come every December, let’s have fun. Come to Africa.”
This anthem is not just music—it’s a celebration of culture, community, and the unbreakable Ghanaian spirit.
