Agol (Official Video)

Lamisi

Lamisi — one of Ghana’s most popular artists and an activist for the rights of women and girls — has shared the second single from her forthcoming new album Let Us Clap — a collaboration with innovative music producer and auteur Wanlov the Kubolor, which marks a radical reinvention of her sound. At a time in history when rollbacks on gains made in feminism and women’s rights are commonplace, Let Us Clap also serves as a reminder that vigilance — and action — matters. “The time is now, the change is now,” sings Lamisi on ‘Agol’, the album’s boisterous opener, over handclaps, drums and the overtone rich Romanian telenka flute.
