Smock Rhythms – your weekly journey through the vibrant sounds of Northern Ghana.
Smock Rhythms is your weekly journey through the vibrant sounds of Northern Ghana. Every weekend, we handpick a fresh selection of tracks from the heart of Northern Ghana. From traditional rhythms to modern beats, this playlist is designed to keep your weekend energised and full of life. Each track is carefully numbered and linked in our blog post to ensure smooth listening and avoid copyright issues. Vibe with the music, explore new genres, and let thesavanna weekend pulse be your go-to soundtrack for every weekend!
Is this a list of New releases?
No. Smock Rhythms is not limited to new releases. It is a selection of some of the finest songs we hear from artists in the North of Ghana. Language and genre are not primary determiners. Our discretion is absolutely down to the quality of the sound, the song’s universal appeal, and the vocal performance. The listed songs are not based on a hierarchy.
Is this about the Northern Region?
No. thesavannaonline acknowledges the battle with appreciating the varied regions and ethnicities of Northern Ghana. However, the North of Ghana refers to the three traditional regions of the Upper East, Upper West, and Upper East Region. This implies that we now cover the Upper West, Upper East, Northern, North East, and Savanna regions.
Which artists or regions are a priority?
We do not prioritise any region or set of artists. We curate based on what we can access or see online across multiple platforms. However, we invite artists and their management to share links with us whenever they have some releases. It is not a guarantee that we will feature it on a particular list. However, it adds to the rich database we would be cutting. At 1 point or the other, we may feature some of the songs.
What do we seek to achieve?
We seek to augment the selection process of Deejays and show hosts for their playlists. We also believe music lovers can add songs to their own playlists through these weekly updates. It becomes a win-win for fans and artists.
When does Smock Rhythms begin?
Our first list goes out on May 9, 2025. It will consist of a blog post and an audiovisual representation of the selections.
We anticipate that this initiative will be embraced, and once again, www.thesavannaonline.com will highlight the music from Northern Ghana. thesavanna jam of the week will also make a return to radio soon.
