“I love and appreciate great, organic music,” Ghanaian hip-hop veteran Sarkodie tells Apple Music. “I like how a cross-section of these tracks represents a faction of musical bilingualism which has also influenced my delivery. This is such that, even while we sing or rap in our native tongues, people love the flow and appreciate it even without necessarily being able to understand it.” For Trotro Vibes, Apple Music’s celebration of Ghanaian Independence Day, Sarkodie assembles a collection of hits from the artists who have remade the sonic profile of Ghana in their image. “From Kojo Antwi and Daddy Lumba to new-generation artists like Black Sherif and Camidoh, you see how we have evolved as a music-conscious country,” he explains. “Our sounds, deep-rooted in our cultural experiences, have influenced the new wave of Afrobeats coming out of Africa and have put us on the global map. There is a sweet-sounding renaissance for generations to come, and we're here to live the experience and keep the fire burning.”
