Onyansapow Bowaanopow pays tribute to Nkrumah, Mandela, and Kenyatta

United States-based Ghanaian artiste, Onyansapow Bowaanopow has paid glowing tributes to some of Africa's great leaders like Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Nelson Mandela of South Africa, and Jomo Kenyatta of Kenya in his latest piece.

Onyansapow Bowaanopow's upcoming release is titled “Great Sons of Africa.”

This highly anticipated track follows the global success of his previous single, “Contentment,” which gained significant attention for its deep message.

“Great Sons of Africa” is a tribute to three monumental figures in African history, thus, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Nelson Mandela of South Africa, and Jomo Kenyatta of Kenya—who were instrumental in the fight against colonialism and played pivotal roles in the liberation of their nations.

Onyansapow Bowaanopow believes that history’s most significant contributors should be celebrated, as their efforts were not the result of passivity but of bold and decisive action.

Through this song, he aims to honour the legacies of these three great African leaders, while also encouraging listeners to appreciate the richness of African history and culture.

He sees this celebration of African heroes as essential to understanding the continent’s past and promoting its cultural identity.

The song’s official music video is set to premiere on YouTube on September 15, 2024, strategically chosen to coincide with the upcoming birthday celebration of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana’s founding father, on September 21. This premiere will mark the beginning of a series of events celebrating Nkrumah’s legacy.
