Ghanaian celebrated Kwan Pa music group shared their mission to revive and preserve the rich legacy of palm wine music. On today’s edition of Ahotor mmre.
Speaking passionately on the show hosted by Obaapa Janee, the group revealed the inspiration behind their sound, which blends traditional rhythms with storytelling and acoustic instrumentation.
“We realized that palm wine music, which actually gave birth to our beloved highlife, was fading into the background,” Kwan Pa stated. “So we decided to keep it alive by doing palm wine music as a group.”
Their performance on the show was nothing short of magical—featuring vibrant drumming, rich guitar plucking, gentle percussion, and soulful harmonies that took listeners back to the days when music was shared under moonlight in village squares.
Kwan Pa’s commitment to this nostalgic sound isn’t just about music—it’s about heritage. “Palm wine music tells our stories in the most authentic way,” they added. “It’s time we embraced it again.”
Listeners flooded the station’s Facebook with messages of support and admiration, applauding the group for reigniting interest in a genre many feared was lost.
Kwan Pa isn’t just playing music—they’re preserving culture, and today they’ve reminded us of the power in our roots.
If today’s show was any indication, palm wine music isn’t going anywhere—and Kwan Pa is leading the way.
