Ghanaian musician, songwriter and producer Emmanuel Kweku Owusu Darlington popularly known as Kweku Darlington, talks about how Africans ignored their Culture to adapt that of the Western Culture in a song and titled it “THIS AINT FUNNY”.
Kweku, a talented musician, songwriter, and producer, had always been passionate about preserving the rich heritage of his homeland. Growing up in a household filled with traditional Ghanaian music and storytelling, he cherished the vibrant rhythms and colorful tales that were passed down through generations.
However, as he looked around him, Kweku couldn't help but notice the pervasive influence of Western culture on African youth. From fashion trends to music preferences, many young people seemed to be forsaking their own cultural identity in favor of adopting Western ideals.
Determined to address this issue through his art, Kweku decided to channel his thoughts and emotions into a powerful song. He poured his heart and soul into the lyrics, weaving together poignant verses that lamented the loss of African culture and urged his fellow Africans to reclaim their heritage.
The melody that accompanied the lyrics was both soulful and stirring, blending traditional Ghanaian rhythms with modern beats. With each note, Kweku hoped to capture the attention of listeners and ignite a sense of pride in their cultural roots.
When Kweku Darlington released "This Ain't Funny," it resonated deeply with audiences across Ghana and beyond. The song struck a chord with listeners who shared his concerns about the erosion of African identity, sparking conversations about the importance of cultural preservation in an increasingly interconnected world.
Through his music, Kweku Darlington had found a powerful way to champion the rich tapestry of African culture and inspire others to embrace their heritage with pride. And as the haunting melody of "This Ain't Funny" echoed through the streets, it served as a reminder that the heartbeat of Africa would continue to thrive as long as its people remained true to themselves.
