……I took a brief working-intermission. Restless as ever, i made a foray across the border into Accra,Ghana. I decided to link up with Wanlov The Kubolor. I had watched a musical programme feature on him a few months back and liked what I’d heard and seen. Upon listening to his album, I knew he and I would one day end up in the recording booth. We met at the Goethe Institut Accra and we instantly fixed a studio date. Panji Anoff, one of the pioneering producers and forces behind Hiplife in Ghana, was recruited to help midwife our session. Together with Wanlov, he produced an Afrobeat instrumental that in turn led to “Travel & Sea” a song that encourages Africans to travel and discover Africa. The song is dear to me not only because it extends the geographical boundaries beyond Lagos and Nigeria; but also because I have always felt strongly drawn towards Ghana and it’s people, thanks to Pan African visionary leaders like Kwame Nkrumah.
