Kojo releases video for Africa

KOJO 'Easy' Damptey has released a video for his track Africa - taken from his debut record Daylight Robbery.

He told RealSoundsOK: "As a musician, I paint pictures as an African from Ghana, a black man and an immigrant living in Canada. But I do hope my debut record DaylightRobbery speaks to the souls and minds of people from all backgrounds. 

"Africa is a song dedicated to all past African leaders such as Dr Kwame Nkrumah, Patrice Lumumba, Nelson Mandela, Thomas Sankara, just to mention a few. While doing so it is suppose to inspire a new generation of African leaders and to shed light on the new ways the continent is exploited through neo-colonization. 

"All the songs on my debut record are written to engage and inspire different ways of thinking especially in a world where numerous are marginalized because of their color, culture, identity, gender. The times need to change."

You can watch the video below and get the track at kojoeasydamptey.bandcamp.com
