Her newly released “African Pepper” album is among the best-performing musical African projects this year and continues to rack up impressive streaming numbers.
Speaking to the media following her arrival at the Kotoka International Airport, Noami Achu expressed excitement about her tour in Ghana, which she describes as a country with a rich musical heritage.
“I love Ghanaian music, and I know lots of artistes from Ghana like DBlack, Reggie Rockstone, Bisa Kdei, and a host of others, and I am looking forward to meeting and collaborating with them on various music projects.
“African music is doing well on the international stage, but I think we need to stay united to keep this movement going. That is one of the major reasons I am in Ghana to work with some artistes,” she said.
Noami Achu stated that she plans to shoot some music videos in Ghana, especially for songs on her album, as well as some new works with some Ghanaian artistes.
She also stated that she looks forward to visiting some deprived communities in Ghana to offer them the necessary support.
