Award-winning Ghanaian musician and global activist Rocky Dawuni has released a new single titled ‘I Got A Song’, featuring Cedella Marley, a Jamaican singer and the daughter of the legendary Bob Marley.
Speaking on Channel One TV’s Breakfast Daily on Friday, July 18, Rocky Dawuni explained that the song was inspired by the aboriginal concept of intergenerational connections, the idea that present and future generations are interconnected and must work together in unity.
“If you have a situation where poor people and immigrants are being treated in certain ways in different countries, and you have an amplified vision… even here in Ghana, there is political divide, and we are at each other’s throats,” he said.
He lamented the constant bickering between political parties in Ghana, describing it as counterproductive to national development. “All the time, there is an argument from each side. There is no collective effort to harmonise or support the primary objective. We are busy tiring ourselves in the same spot and marking time.”
Rocky believes music is a powerful tool that can help mend divisions and restore national unity. “So I feel there is a need to tune the strings of global dissonance,” he said, stressing that ‘I Got A Song’ was crafted to promote a message of peace and solidarity.
