RAMA BLAK

Awura-Ama Agyapong, known on stage as Rama Blak, is a Ghanaian singer, songwriter, and young ethnomusicologist. She merges indigenous musical traditions with modern sounds.

Her journey began with the UG Highlife Ensemble at the University of Ghana’s Department of Music, where she honed her craft as a performer. By 2018/2019, she was already working with bands across Accra and released her debut single Anansesem, a song that announced her arrival on the Ghanaian music scene.

Today, Rama leads her own bands, the Vibe Tribe (Contemporary) and Duafe Adenkum Band (Traditional), showcasing their artistry on diverse platforms. Her commitment lies in developing a distinct style that bridges Ghana’s indigenous rhythms with contemporary global influences. This vision is also reflected in her academic path: she is currently pursuing a PhD in Ethnomusicology at the University of Ghana, after completing both her undergraduate degree in Music and Theatre Arts and her master’s degree in Ethnomusicology.

She has worked with celebrated musicians such as Agya Osei Korankye, the Legon Palmwine Band, Atongo Zimba, the Nkyinkyim Band, Kwan Pa Band, and the Playing for Change Foundation. These partnerships have shaped her creative process, blending palmwine, folk, and contemporary highlife into her own unique sound.

In August 2024, she released Becoming Rama Blak (The Discography), a compilation of her works since 2017, marking a milestone in her career. She launched her EP, Asaase Nnwom, paying tribute to the country and Mother Earth in March 2025. She followed with Odoyewu, her debut album in September 2025, which had themes of her exploration of love, identity, and cultural heritage through music.

Beyond performance, Rama is also a writer of poems and short stories, where she shares her personal reflections on her awuramacreates.com blog.

OLIVIA KAYANG

OLIVIA KAYANG

Olivia Kayang is a Ghanaian visual artist and writer who understands photography, video, installation, music, and poetry as interconnected forms of writing. Her practice asks what becomes possible when language reaches its limits and meaning must be carried instead through images, sounds, moving bodies, objects, and space.

Her work contemplates questions of memory, belonging, perception, the ways histories inhabit the body, and the relationships between people, place, and the earth. Working across cultures and within multiple histories of Blackness, womanhood, and African identity, Kayang creates poetic encounters that invite feeling before explanation. Rather than offering definitive answers, her work dwells in uncertainty, asking how a loved one can be simultaneously present and absent, how a body can be both visible and unseen, how an image can be legible and illegible, how a sound can be audible yet distant, to create the possibility for new ways of seeing and feeling the world around us.

Kayang’s work has been exhibited in academic spaces and galleries in Colorado and Southern California, USA. She currently lives and works in Accra, Ghana, where she continues to develop an interdisciplinary practice grounded in writing, sound, and image-making.
