Composer,
violinist and director of the Witsharmonic choir, Witsfield Kwablah, composed
the song "Dumsor"- which went viral on WhatsApp last Friday.
'Dumsor'
was launched on March 7, this year and has since Friday this year, July 22, received
air-play on major radio programs including the Super Morning show on Joy FM and
the Citi Breakfast show on Citi FM.
The
song does not just highlight the many challenges Ghanaians were forced to endure due to the
erratic power cuts-- it has without a doubt proved that even in the face
of darkness extraordinary talents can still shine.
The
24-year old Teaching Assistant at the University of Cape Coast tells us the
song was first recorded on March 7, during the Cape Coast edition of
his choir’s annual 'Republic Concert' this year.
Contrary to popular opinion he says the song is not meant to jab the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) for failing to resolve the power crisis.
A spirited singer himself, he reiterates that the Witsharmonic concert-- to be held yearly will feature songs that promote peace and address issues of national concern.
And just when one thought It couldn't get more interesting than it already is, his magically pieced songs 'Kokonsani', “Noko ye jen” [and others] would leave you brain-active and mesmerized.
