10 Songs from Ghana that Might Spark the Come Back of Azonto – Check them out

Ghana took the world by storm with their crazy dance moves and the uptempo song they called Azonto. The latter was not a genre but became one among the local people of Ghana. 

So for many Ghanaians, a song that could help them move their feet in a certain particular way was called the Azonto song. To give an example will be how Nigerians call some songs Zanku music because it helps you to do the leg work easily. 

Even though Zanku is not a music genre on its own, among the populace it’s an easier way for them to identify that kind of music when and where ever they hear it. 

Ghana’s Azonto grew so huge, international RNB superstar Chris Brown caught the vibes and during his concert in Ghana, he did choreography with Wizkid on stage. 

A certain school of thought believes that Azonto – the music and dance put Ghana on the map more than our indigenous Hi-life music, so much that all over the world people were learning how to dance Azonto. 

Even though the success of that music and dance were short-lived, a lot of people still believe it never died but rather the attention shifted to other types of music.

In recent times, a lot of conversations have come up regarding the kingship and pioneer of music and dance-Azonto. The conversation heated up when Sarkodie from Ghana, Africa’s most decorated rapper made a post that azonto should be brought back. 

Despite the back and forth, some artists released songs to champion the comeback of Azonto but for some strange reasons it did not pick up as expected. 

But recently all the new hit songs in Ghana are songs that actually allow you to do the Azonto dance so easily, so we are predicting that these new songs will bring back the dance and song.

5 New Music from Ghana featuring Rapper EL, Worlasi & Drvmroll, Mzvee, R2bees, Wizkid

Our new music weekly highlight this week features new music from Ghanaian stars EL, the VO Nation, and Afroboss drops another certified banger, the Natural girl MzVee enlists Medikal on her new jam Hallelujah off her new album ‘inVeencible’, Worlasi and, Drvmroll takes us through the yet to be released EP- “Did it ourselves” (DIOS) with the first single called Kilode. 

R2bees certifies the come back of Azonto with their new jam Yawa featuring Sarkodie while Wizkid finally releases his Made in Lagos tape for fans with Ginger featuring Burna Boy.

EL – Still Papping 

Let’s start with rapper EL. The Afroboss stamps his feet on the come back of Azonto with another monster certified December hit song called: ’Still Papping”. 

The song takes you back to the days of ‘Obuumo’, ‘Kaalu’, and ‘shelele’. Still, Papping is groovy and uptempo. Looks like EL has the antidote to his fans asking for danceable songs because this is a sure banger. 

Mzvee ft Medikal – Hallelujah 

The natural girl now turned Sheriff is set to drop a new album on us called: inVeecinble. The album will show us Mzvee’s growth in the music industry.  To kick off the album, the “Baby” hitmaker just released one track off the tape called: “Hallelujah” featuring Medikal. 

MzVee uses her experience and growth in the music space to thank her God for how far she has come. Hallelujah is not a beautiful song but it is an afrobeat song to look out for in the future. 

Watch the The Boldz directed video by Mzvee here: 

Worlasi & DrvmRoll – Kilode 

Kilode (Why, in Yoruba), is the first single and second track off the collaborative #DIOSEP by young Ghanaian artists, @worlasigh & @drvmroll

Worlasi and @wes7ar22 express their frustration in what seems to be an “On & Off situation-ship” between them and their ladies.

R2bees ft Sarkodie – Yawa 

The new R2bees song featuring Sarkodie is uptempo which is quite different from their previous collaborations with Sarkodie. The duo, Mugeez, and Pae Dae AKA Omar Sterling have always delivered on any music genre that has tried so far including Hi-life music. 

Yawa by r2bees is one for Christmas. The new song is in line with Ghana’s Azonto and it got us believing that Azonto is really coming back.

Wizkid ft Burna Boy – Ginger 

Starboy Wizkid drops the “Made In Lagos” album after postponing it due to the then #EndSars protests happening in Nigeria. The new album titled Made in Lagos has some amazing features from the likes of Damian Marley to Burna Boy, HER, and more. 

Ginger off the Made In Lagos album is an afrobeat jam that brings out the soft side of Wizkid.

R2bees From Ghana out with New Music “Yawa” Featuring Sarkodie (Azonto Is Back) – Watch

Music collaborations are very important especially when there is a good gel between two artists. Artists come together to create music to entertain two different fan bases and also tap into each other’s numbers. 

In Ghana, every time music duo, R2bees collaborates with Africa’s most decorated rapper Sarkodie the songs are always fire. 

So it not surprising that in 2020 the Tema base musicians are back on a song called Yawa. 

The new R2bees song featuring Sarkodie is uptempo which is quite different from their previous collaborations with Sarkodie. The duo, Mugeez, and Pae Dae AKA Omar Sterling have always delivered on any music genre that has tried so far including Hi-life music.

Yawa by r2bees is one for Christmas. The new song is in line with Ghana’s Azonto and it got us thinking may Azonto is really coming back.

In the past, Sarkodie had revealed that it was time to bring Azonto back and to start the campaign he dropped a song to get his fans ready for the new Azonto season.

Listening to the Yawa song by R2bees, it is not surprising that they chose Sarkodie for this song. The “Gimme way” hit make always knows how to carefully weave his lyrics on beats like this to get people dancing and excited. 

The new R2bees collaborations with Sarkodie come after songs such as the Bayla trap and Ajei, even though Sarkodie and Omar Sterling have jumped on a song called Oluwa is Involved before. 

The Jay directed music video takes viewers back to a time we have to make sure our TV antennas are properly fixed just to watch a black star football match. 

Yawa video is not just hilarious but it has elements of our Ghanaian culture in there with the setting of a typical ghetto neighborhood. 

Enjoy the new R2bees jam featuring Sarkodie called Yawa.
