King Paluta making waves with ‘Makoma’
King Paluta
Ghana’s current hottest artist, King Paluta’s new song has taken the industry by storm, making huge waves and receiving massive airplay on traditional and social media.
Having been ‘underground’ for nearly two decades, King Paluta’s recent rise into limelight is one that can be attributed to determination, dedication, hard work and perseverance.
After releasing his major hit song ‘Yahitte’ in 2023, the artist has been on top of his game and maintained his dominance with back-to-back hits.
Most recently, he released ‘Aseda’ which has since been one of the biggest songs in the country, as it does not only resonate with secular but gospel lovers as well.
Just when many thought that would be the hit song for the year, King Paluta is out with ‘Makoma,’ a highlife song that professes love.
It has since been on the lips of the public especially on social media as many used same for tik-tok videos and means of professing love to their partners.
All parties, gatherings and occasions seem not to be complete without King Paluta’s ‘Aseda’ and currently ‘Makoma’ songs.
King Paluta is a skilled sound engineer who has recorded many unknown artists in the Ashanti region and beyond.
He has over 200 recorded songs yet to be released and the world should look out for him after finally gaining recognition

The fourth edition of the fast-rising fashion and cultural event, the Slit and Kaba Festival, is set to take place on May 1 at the Legon City Mall in Accra.
Organised by Roots Africa, the festival aims to promote Ghanaian culture through the traditional Kaba and Slit outfit, known for its vibrant African prints and unique designs.
Speaking to The Spectator Agoro ahead of this year’s edition, dubbed “Old School Kaba and Slit Meets Batakari,” the Founder of Roots Africa, Mrs. Deborah Kabutey-Djisah, popularly known as Manye Korngo, said the event has gained significant popularity over the years and promised an even bigger experience this time around.
“The intention is to revive old-school fashion while celebrating our revered Fugu, also known as Batakari, which has gained massive exposure in recent times,” she stated.
“It is also an opportunity to showcase our culture and demonstrate to young people how fashion has evolved over the years,” she added.
She further called on vendors to come on board to display their products and services, noting that thousands of patrons are expected to attend the event.
“Don’t miss the chance to have your brand featured on our flyers, make incredible sales, and be part of an unforgettable experience,” she urged.
According to her, the previous edition was a great success, attracting patrons from across the country. Due to the growing interest, a larger venue had to be secured to accommodate the anticipated crowd.
“I’m expecting ten times more people than we had at last year’s festival,” she added.
