These sounds all shifted something within us. A people reclaiming an infinite past in a vibrant now. The old and new are all alive and telling numerous stories of one Ghana. 33 creations of Highlife, Hip-life, hip-hop, traditional, Afrobeats and a concoction of innovative ‘things’ in-between. “Rhythms ancestral, vibes celestial, and sounds on a diverse spectrum. I merged that inspiration and swiftly blended Afrobeats, Reggae and Dancehall together and became globally known for being a young pioneer of such a hybrid style.” – Stonebwoy Stonebwoy. “These tracks have inspired me heavily because they form a big chunk of my creative make-up, especially the older songs from ‘80s and ’90s, alongside the influx and influence of reggae and dancehall. There is a sweet-sounding renaissance for generations to come and we’re here to live the experience and keep the fire burning.” – Sarkodie Sarkodie. Our sounds, deep-rooted in our cultural experiences have influenced the new wave of Afrobeats coming out of Africa and have put us on the global map. “From Kojo Antwi and Daddy Lumba, to new-generation artists like Black Sherif and Camidoh, you see how we have evolved as a music-conscious country. There will be a genre spotlight on Afrobeats and Afro-Pop, Hip-Hop, Drill, Highlife and Hiplife, Afro-fusion and Gospel, as well as a focus on the campaign’s flagship playlist. The Trotro Vibes collection will feature five exclusively curated playlists by Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, M.anifest, Efya and Da’ Hammer, and will also house Artist Essentials, Top Albums, and Essential Albums. Trotro Vibes will feature premonition Hiplife rapper Sarkodie, Ghana’s reggae and dancehall king Stonebwoy, rapper and producer M.anifest, Afro-soul singer-songwriter Efya and legendary producer and HipLife pioneer Da’ Hammer.
