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.
