Africa Is Sick - Hope of Africa

A Ghanaian Afro-pop/Reggae group, Hope of Africa International Band has released their second album ‘Africa is Sick’ amongst tracks such as aden and shinning lady.

Hope of Africa who released their first album ‘Jah Spirit’ in 2009 with tracks like, ‘Jah Spirit’, ‘Hail Jah’, ‘Ghetto life’ amongst others really made waves across Africa and some European Countries like Switzerland, Denmark and Holland.

On why the theme ‘Africa is Sick’, the group said, “Upon all the rich minerals endowed in the soils of Africa, Mama Africa is still classified as a third world continent and what is more worrying, almost everything that we use in Africa is manufactured and imported from Babylon”.

“After so many years of independence we still depend on the other world for bread and butter. Why Mama why? The grouped asked.http://www.ameyawdebrah.com/

“We took the name Hope of Africa because when you check from the world map you will realize that Ghana is located right in the middle of the world and that notwithstanding when it comes to sports, Ghana became the Hope of Africa in the just ended world cup in South Africa which but for Suarez Ghana would have lifted the cup”. The full fifteen straight track album, ‘Africa is Sick’, will be released early next year with its content having lots of conscious messages including the unthinkable.
