Blakk Rasta
Celebrated Ghanaian media personality and musician, Abubakar Ahmed, affectionately called Blakk Rasta has released a 20-track album dubbed, “Salaga Soljah” with a message of unity.
The album is made up of songs like Sodom & Gomorrah, Adisa, M Para-N’duuma, Oohba Oohba, Bua, Kafan Kere, Haile Haile Haile, Kokroko, Cameroon, My Dear Ghana, Baber Shop, and Be My Wife among others.
One of the songs, which aims to address pockets of ethnic violence amongst some communities in the Northern part of the country is “Put Down Your Arms.”
Speaking to The Spectator Agoro on Friday, Blakk Rasta said his inspiration for the song stems from the unfortunate killing of innocent people as a result of ethnic conflicts in the Northern part of the country.
“My people in Bawku have been fighting for a very long time, it has been a struggle, the Dagombas, Kokombas fighting in the past,” he said.
According to Blakk Rasta, he was glad to have produced a song urging the people of the North to come together.
He disclosed that it took him four years to complete the album, saying he was optimistic that with the diversity in the project, everyone would have his or her favourite.
The album produced by Nana Fynn, David Bolton, Zapp Mallet, 2 Luck, AB and Hot Mix is available on all digital platforms.

Mr Gunu received the management team of Sesinam, led by her Team Lead, Ms Latifatu Ajals Abdul Karim, at his office to seek the support and collaboration of the Regional Coordinating Council for the contestant.
The Regional Minister assured the team of his support and the collective goodwill of the Council, and presented GH¢10,000 towards Sesinam’s participation in the competition.
He encouraged Ghanaians, particularly people who identified with the Volta Region, to support and cheer on Sesinam as she used the platform to showcase the region’s rich culture, heritage and beauty to the rest of the country.
Mr Gunu said supporting the regional representative was not only about the competition but also provided an opportunity to promote the cultural identity and heritage of the Volta Region on a national platform. Sesinam is among the eight contestants remaining in the competition after eight contestants had been evicted, as the pageant enters its ninth week.
The 2026 edition marks the 20th anniversary of Ghana’s Most Beautiful, a television reality pageant that brings together contestants from across the country to showcase Ghana’s diverse cultures, traditions and heritage. GNA
