New Video: Yaa pono – Amen @uptownenergyboy

The much anticipated official video from Ghana’s Yaa Pono (Dir: Yaw
Skyface) of the hit song that has taken the World by storm is finally
here — “Amen!”

“Amen” is inspired by his recent performance at
“Felabration 2013” at Lagos’ New Shrine as one of the Ghanaian
contingent performers. “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
towards goals in order to reach them.

Released as a single in
November 2013, “Amen” showcases the unique versatility of the 2011 and
2014 Ghana Music Award nominated music artist, who is primarily know for
his hip hop roots. However, he can also draw on the experience of
writing a large back catalogue of strong material that includes
dancehall, rock and house music.

Yaa Pono’s forthcoming album, “Sea Blue”, will be available for general release in the near future.
