Renowned Ghanaian broadcaster, musician, and cultural icon Kwame Adinkra is gearing up to celebrate his birthday in style with the release of a new single titled ‘Meto Wo Kropon.’
Famed for his smooth voice, captivating cultural storytelling, and deep passion for music, Kwame Adinkra continues to leave an indelible mark on Ghana’s entertainment landscape. This latest release signifies yet another milestone in his illustrious career and is expected to captivate both longtime fans and new listeners.
Speaking during his morning show on Pure FM, Kwame expressed his enthusiasm for the track, describing it as a heartfelt gift to his supporters. On his Facebook page, he shared insights into the creative process behind the song:
“My song ideas often come to me while driving, inspired by the rhythms of world music. From there, the journey takes shape with the invaluable collaboration of Mr. Collins Agyemang of Mussive Music. Together, we refine the concept, often accompanied by laughter and good food.
“Once the demo is ready, we share it with Dan Bassey of Bassey House of Music, whose keen ear and expertise provide invaluable feedback. The recording is usually completed in his studio, with final touches depending on the project’s complexity. For ‘Meto Wo Kropon,’ we added a unique twist: the final mix was completed by Kofi Ackah in Canada, and the production features the exceptional talent of international guitarist OT Woods. The result is truly phenomenal, and I am deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to its creation.
“The song draws inspiration from the powerful significance of naming, whether it’s the naming of children or places. Names often carry profound stories, as seen in the historical account of Okomfo Anokye, who planted seedlings in Asante towns. The thriving one was named Kumasi, while the struggling seedling gave rise to Kumawu. In ‘Meto Wo Kropon,’ I reimagine the act of naming by envisioning a city I would build and name after a beloved. The title translates to ‘I will name a city after you.’”
‘Meto Wo Kropon’ will officially premiere on December 27th at 12:00 AM and will be available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, Boomplay, and YouTube.
