There is only one name when it comes to a Ghanaian artiste who has blazed the trail for the Hip-Life music genre internationally. There is equally only one name when it comes to combining different genres of music into one successful album in Ghana, and that name is no other than multiple award winner Samini. Having been dormant for the past two years, Samini is on the ascendency again with the release of his new 21-track album titled “Dagaati.”
Coming off from his highly successful sophomore album, this third album from Samini, formerly known as ‘Batman’, is titled “Dagaati”, the name of his ethnic group in the Upper West Region of Ghana. In addition, “Dagaati” is intended to tie him to his roots.
This album is solid proof of the twenty-six months of hard work and determination to give his fans nothing less than the best. Samini describes this album as the medium to let people know their roots, where they are coming from and where they are going. “Dagaati would cut across all borders from Nigeria, UK, Kenya and Jamaica and promises to take the whole world by storm”.
The album features collaborations with artistes not only from Ghana but also from Africa and the Diaspora. British roots reggae band Steel Pulse is on the album as well as Sway, Faze from Nigeria and a production by UK beat maker, Richie Pitch. Some of the tracks on the album to look out for during this festive season and beyond includes ‘Movement’, ‘Sweet Girls’ featuring Nameless from Kenya, ‘Dagaati’, ‘Yen Sa‘ featuring Kwaisey Pee, ‘Agoro’ featuring UK’s finest Sway ,‘Where My Girl Dey’ and many others.
