Kojo Ashakan announces new reggae single to address Australia Day controversy

Reggae sensation Kojo Ashakan, popularly known as Starman, is set to kick off the New Year with another impactful release.

Known for hits like ‘Cedi Nya Egye’, ‘Mensa Ato Bi So’, and the recent ‘Stealing in the Name of the Lord’, Ashakan has revealed plans to drop a thought-provoking new single on January 1, 2025.

The track, which is dedicated to the indigenous people of Australia, touches on the sensitive and contentious subject of Australia Day, observed annually on January 26.

While the day is celebrated by many Australians as a national holiday, it is referred to as “Invasion Day” by Aboriginal Australians, symbolising the loss of their lands and culture following British colonisation.

In his typical bold and unapologetic style, Kojo Ashakan’s latest reggae tune promises to shine a spotlight on this ongoing debate, raising awareness about the struggles of indigenous Australians and calling for reflection on the true meaning of unity and reconciliation.

Described as a “massive, wicked sensational reggae tune,” the song is expected to spark conversations in the Australian public and beyond.

Fans can anticipate its release across all major streaming platforms.

Ashakan’s consistent delivery of powerful messages through music has earned him accolades as one of the most brutal and dynamic voices in contemporary reggae.

Stay tuned for this groundbreaking release, and be ready to download your copy on January 1, 2025.
