In a surprising deviation from tradition, the President of Ghana was welcomed at the Youth Resource Center in the Eastern Regional Capital, the venue for the Independence Day parade, with Amerado’s “Kwaku Ananse.”
For years, the President had been greeted with “Oye,” a song that held sentimental value from his days as an opposition leader. However, the switch to Amerado’s track signifies a significant departure from the established ceremonial protocol. While the reasons behind this change remain unclear, it suggests a possible shift in the President’s musical preferences.
Amerado’s “Kwaku Ananse” has gained widespread popularity, particularly on social media, for its message of resilience and contentment. The song encourages listeners to prioritize personal happiness over public opinion, emphasizing the importance of staying true to oneself amidst societal pressures.
