Nick Morrison Releases “Ananse”, A Raggamuffin Firestorm Rooted in Rhythm and Resistance

77

With “Ananse,” Nick Morrison and his collaborators unleash a potent blend of protest, groove, and cultural homage. Featuring Ghanaian legend Ekow Alabi Savage and the soulful Sir Frank Karikari, the track is a thunderous call for ecological justice and a return to ancestral wisdom.

Built on a deep rhythmic foundation, “Ananse” pulses with the spiritual urgency of reggae and the swagger of classic ragamuffin. The production is tight yet organic, layered with percussive complexity and melodic drive that reflects the DNA of highlife and afrobeat, filtered through the modern lens of Berlin’s globally aware music scene.

Ekow’s performance is both fierce and grounded—his decades-long journey through African, reggae, and world music traditions evident in every bar. Karikari’s vocals add emotional resonance and legacy, linking past and present through his familial ties to Ghanaian highlife royalty.

But “Ananse” isn’t just a sound—it’s a statement. It demands attention to the earth, to truth, to tradition. In a time of climate crisis and cultural amnesia, the song strikes like a drumbeat of defiance: urgent, unyielding, unforgettable.

If you crave protest music with heart, rhythm, and global soul, “Ananse” deserves a place on your playlist. This is music that moves your feet and stirs your conscience.
