In the heart of Ghana’s Volta Region, where rhythm is woven into the fabric of daily life, a vibrant youth group is striking a bold chord, literally and culturally.
The Progressive Youth Club, based in Ho, has released its maiden album titled “Nu Ga Woe Mawu Dzrado Di Nam”, meaning “God Has Greater Things in Store for Me”, a powerful collection of original songs that blends the warmth of tradition with the pulse of youthful ambition.
Founded on 14th February 2007 with just a handful of members and a dream to uplift its community, the club has since blossomed into a formidable collective of over 160 spirited young men and women.
Under the dynamic leadership of Chairman Mr Francis Aba, the group has grown into a cultural force, driven by their motto: “Progressive, We Stand For Support.”
This first-of-its-kind feat, a social club not only performing but composing and recording its music, is a cultural milestone.

The album is steeped in the resonant, soul-stirring melodies of Borborbor, the iconic traditional music of the Ewe people. Borborbor is more than entertainment; it is the heartbeat of the Volta Region. Known for its syncopated drumming, hypnotic dances, and call-and-response vocals, the genre is a communal expression of joy, resilience, and collective memory.
The Progressive Youth Club’s approach revitalises this cherished heritage, fusing the soulful cadence of Borborbor with lyrical themes of hope, unity, and spiritual reassurance.
“Nu Ga Woe Mawu Dzrado Di Nam” is not just a musical production; it is an anthem for a generation that believes in progress, even through struggle.
With their music now echoing through the airwaves and community gatherings, the group has sparked a cultural renaissance in the region.
From church grounds to festival stages, their songs serve as reminders of the power of unity, storytelling, and heritage.
Through rich harmonies and spirited drumming, the Progressive Youth Club celebrates not just their own journey but the enduring legacy of Volta's musical roots.
As they look ahead, the club hopes to take their message beyond borders — proving that through tradition, innovation, and a shared voice, young people can shape the future while honouring the past.
