Musician Shadrack Kelvin Darko, whose stage name is Black Skinny, is making waves in the music scene with his “debut song”, Abrokyire Ye De, a composition that unveils the wild journey he undertook from Africa to Europe.
The narrative of the song, which features renowned rapper Yaa Pono also known as Ponobiom, encapsulates the struggles, triumphs, and profound insights gathered during Black Skinny's harrowing expedition through the Libyan Desert to his current home in Germany.
The track, Abrokyire Ye De, produced as Darko's inaugural musical creation, not only captures his personal account of navigating the treacherous path from Ghana to Europe but also serves as an open conversation about the stark contrasts between the European system and the challenges plaguing many African nations, including his homeland.
Black Skinny's own journey began amidst adversity, as he embarked on a perilous road trip from Ghana, charting a course through the unforgiving Libyan Desert before braving the Mediterranean waters to Spain and Italy, eventually settling in Germany.
Additionally, the song narrates his individual odyssey, shining a light on the risks and the aspirations shared by countless Africans seeking better prospects abroad.
This musical endeavor is a poignant commentary on the shortcomings of leadership in Africa. Through his lyrics, Black Skinny draws attention to the dire inadequacies in providing basic necessities for citizens, including education, healthcare, and infrastructure.
His song resonates with the struggles of students studying under challenging conditions, the shortcomings of healthcare systems, and the urgent need for improved infrastructure, especially roads, in his home country.
