E-Komla: The Young Maestro Bringing A New Wave To Ghanaian Music
Ghana’s music industry is experiencing a thrilling resurgence, thanks to the emergence of talented young artistes like E-Komla.
Hailing from Jasikan in the Oti Region, the Afrobeats and Highlife sensation is taking the music scene by storm with his captivating sound and infectious energy.
Christined Komla Emmanuel Bigah, E-Komla was born to Mr. Dominic Kofi Bigah and Madam Cecilia Ackey.
E-Komla’s passion for music was ignited at a tender age. Growing up in a household where highlife music was a staple, he was naturally drawn to the genre, which has greatly influenced his artistry. His parents’ love for highlife legends like E.T. Mensah and Amakye Dede instilled in him a deep appreciation for the genre’s rich cultural heritage.
E-Komla’s musical journey began in the church choir, where he honed his vocal skills and developed a strong foundation in music.
His educational pursuits took him to Togo, where he attended a French school and later to Saint Albert Le Grand for his tertiary education. Upon returning to Ghana, he ventured into private business before finally pursuing his true calling – music.
E-Komla’s inspirations are a diverse mix of Ghanaian and international icons, including Castro, EL, Fela Kuti, and Maitre Gims. These influences are evident in his unique sound, which blends traditional highlife with modern Afrobeats and a hint of international flair.
His debut single, “Bless My Way,” featuring Alhani, made a significant impact on the music scene, garnering widespread approval and attention. He followed this success with “Mon Bebe,” which further solidified his growing fan base.
E-Komla’s latest release, “Aseda,” is a testament to his artistic growth and dedication to his craft.
As he prepares to drop his debut EP and collaborate with industry heavyweights, E-Komla is poised to take Ghana’s music scene to newer heights.

Watch “Fear No Evil” now:
In today’s digital age, gossip has become more widespread than ever, infiltrating every aspect of our lives, from children to adults alike.
The rise of mobile phones and social media has fueled a culture of rumor and slander that can leave deep wounds. Drawing on a rich West African cultural background, the new song, “Okro Mouth” by Joseph And The Kohanim offers a thought-provoking take on this issue while delivering infectious rhythms and melodies that will keep you moving.
In old West African traditions and slang, “Okro Mouth” describes someone
whose words are like okra’s slippery, sticky nature—spreading stories that cause division, shame, and even isolation.
In his latest release, Dr. Joseph Opare, singer/songwriter and visionary behind the band, uses this powerful metaphor to send a timeless message about the dangers of gossip. The track is an urgent yet playful reminder to avoid being busybodies, slanderers, and talebearers who leave destruction in their wake.
Rooted in Biblical teachings, which are an essential part of West African culture,
“Okro Mouth” is a modern-day admonition. But while the message may be serious, the delivery is pure joy.
The song seamlessly blends Afrobeats, Salsa, R&B, and Gospel, creating a sound that is as soulful as it is danceable. Opare’s rich, expressive lead vocals intertwine with silky R&B harmonies,
backed by a rhythm section that bursts with energy. The track turns unexpectedly with a dynamic rap verse by Bamidupe Joseph, adding a fresh
layer to the already eclectic sound.
Okro Mouth” is more than just a song—it’s an experience. The playful lyrics will
make you smile, the groove will have you dancing, and the message might even
prompt introspection.
Whether you’re an Afrobeats enthusiast or simply looking for music that lifts your spirit, “Okro Mouth” is a must-add to your playlist.
Joseph And The Kohanim have again shown their ability to merge profound
messages with irresistible rhythms. “Okro Mouth” is a song that entertains,
inspires, and most importantly, reminds us of the power of our words.
