Accra, Friday, October 30, 2020 – GRAMMY nominated Afro Roots singer,
songwriter, producer and activist, Rocky Dawuni, is releasing a brand-new EP on
Friday, October 30, 2020 entitled “Voice of Bunbon Vol. 1” on all major platforms.
The EP is available NOW at: https://tinyurl.com/yy7xo2nf
“Voice of Bunbon” comes on the heels of his most recent full-length album “Beats of
Zion” (2019) which received tremendous acclaim around the globe and featured five
incredible music videos filmed in Ghana, India, the US and beyond. Rocky’s move
back to his home country of Ghana is evident in this latest offering which explores
contemporary aspects of local music in a creative quest to extend its global appeal.
According to Rocky, “these new songs were born out of my desire to present and
project music that is rooted in the deep cultural traditions of Ghana yet presented in
way that it can relate to the modern world. Bunbon is my home town in Northern
Ghana. My musical career has always been firmly inspired by my upbringing in the
royal family of Bunbon and being educated in the indigenous ways. This exposure to
cultural appreciation has served as an important part of my world view and
music. My vision for this EP is to present a globalized version of African culture. It
also represents my maturity over the years as a voice for social consciousness. In a
time of uncertainty, we need songs and hymns that can touch our emotional nerve
and remind us that love and hope are an indestructible aspect of the human
experience that no amount of fear can take away.”
