As a highlife music enthusiast, I find Akwaboah’s “Berima Nsu” to be a timeless and authentic masterpiece.
In our society, men are often seen as inherently strong, and their emotions are frequently overlooked. Men who express their feelings are sometimes labeled as weak.
This song highlights the importance of men ignoring these critics and expressing their emotions when necessary, rather than bottling them up and suffering silently.
It underscores the need for men to be celebrated and appreciated, acknowledging that being a man is as challenging as being a woman.
Akwaboah has truly blessed us with this piece, and I’ve had it on repeat since I first heard it.
The instrumentals and lyrical combinations are exceptional, worthy of much praise. Listen to the song below and appreciate its brilliance.
