Ghanaian USA-based musician, Okaija Afroso has released a 12-track album christened Jaku Mumor.

The song album was unveiled last Thursday, July 14, 2022, at the Naa Amanua Conference Hall of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA).

Some of the songs on the album are, Jaku Mumor, Gidigidi, Luna, Agbala, Kokrobite, Agash, Kwarley, Srortoi and Lako Edje among others.

Speaking at the brief ceremony, Okaija Afroso noted that he grew up in Kokrobite, started dancing and later travelled to United States of America (USA) and while there, he switched from a dancer to musician.

According to him, his music tells a story of his experiences through his music journey over the years.

Afroso revealed that he had been taking his time to work on the album with the aim of capturing the cultural heritage of the people of Ga-Dangbe with his style of music to inspire others, adding that one of the tracks was dedicated to the hard work of fishermen.

He called for more educational outreach to infuse the cultural heritage through art for the younger generations to learn, and revealed that he would take the lead by reaching out to schools to perform for the kids.
