Raskuntabwoi to Release New Single ‘African Mama’ - A Soul-Stirring Tribute to the African Woman

The global Ghanaian reggae movement is about to get a powerful anthem. Renowned and sensational Ghanaian reggae and dancehall musician 

Raskuntabwoi is set to release his highly anticipated new single titled ‘African Mama’, a deeply rooted, emotionally charged celebration of African motherhood, womanhood, and resilience.

Following the buzz around his romantic reggae single “Obahima” scheduled for late August 2026, ‘African Mama’ signals a more cultural and soulful direction for the artist — and one that fans across Ghana, Italy, and the wider diaspora have been waiting for.

While “Obahima” tells the story of a man who falls deeply in love while travelling overseas, ‘African Mama’ zooms out from romance to reverence. 

Sources close to the artist describe the upcoming record as a letter to every African mother, sister, wife, and queen — the backbone of the continent. Where Obahima praised a queen-like lover, ‘African Mama’ praises the source of life itself: the strength of a mother who hustles, prays, nurtures, corrects, and carries a whole family and community on her back. 

In Raskuntabwoi’s own words from early teasers: “African Mama is my thank you. To my own mother in Sekondi, to every market woman, to every mother in the diaspora raising children far from home. This is their crown.”

The single is expected to fuse conscious reggae lyricism with modern Afrofusion groove — warm basslines, airy Caribbean guitars, West African percussion, and that melodic, soulful vocal delivery that has become Raskuntabwoi’s trademark. 

‘African Mama’ is built on a mid-tempo, roots-reggae foundation laced with Afrofusion and hints of Highlife — a sound that mirrors Raskuntabwoi’s journey from the coast of Ghana to Europe.

While final production credits are yet to be officially announced, the artist has continued his strong working relationship with Ghanaian producers including Hope NeBeat, who produced the infectious, Caribbean-flavoured “Obahima”. 

Early snippets suggest live drums, a humming organ, and layered harmonies that allow his vocals to sit front and center — emotive, precise, and unhurried. 

Lyrically, expect Raskuntabwoi at his most conscious: praise chants, proverbs in Fante and Twi, and a hook designed for singalongs — “African Mama, you are gold / you carry the world and never fold.”

Born and raised in Sekondi in Ghana’s Western Region, Raskuntabwoi has continued to carry the Ghanaian flag beyond the country’s borders.

He is currently based in Italy, where he continues to pursue his musical journey while connecting with audiences both in Ghana and internationally. 

That dual identity — deeply Ghanaian, globally exposed — is what makes his music resonate. He is not just making reggae; he is making reggae with a Ghanaian soul.

Over the last few years, he has built an impressive and consistent catalogue that includes fan favorites such as “My Royal,” “Chasing Dreams,” “Crazy World,” “Stream of Love,” “Guidance,” “Reasons,” “No Helper,” “Take It Easy,” “Frenemy,” “Poverty,” “Twin City,” and “Let We Survive”. 

Known for his melodic, soulful and emotionally engaging approach to reggae and dancehall, he has carved a lane as one of the most reliable voices in Ghanaian reggae in the diaspora. 

At a time when Afrobeats and Afrofusion dominate global charts, conscious reggae anthems that honor culture and family are striking a deeper chord. ‘African Mama’ arrives when conversations around African identity, motherhood, and the role of women in preserving culture are louder than ever.

For the Ghanaian community in Italy and across Europe, the song is also a homecoming — a reminder that no matter how far you travel, the voice of your mother is your compass.

With its touching lyrics, captivating melody and polished production formula that made his previous releases stand out, ‘African Mama’ is expected to appeal not just to lovers of reggae and dancehall, but to Afrofusion and world music audiences globally. 

‘African Mama’ will be available on all major streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Audiomack, Boomplay, and YouTube in the coming weeks. 

An official audio visualizer and a full official music video shot between Italy and Ghana are also in the works, with teasers expected on Raskuntabwoi’s official social channels.

This is more than a single drop. It is a statement of gratitude, pride, and love.
