Ghanaian singer-songwriter Gyakie makes a powerful return with “Sankofa,” a soulful new single co-written with Eyram Gbewonyo (Afrolektra).
The track draws from the Ghanaian adinkra symbol Sankofa, meaning “to go back and retrieve what is lost,” capturing themes of reconnection, reflection, and emotional honesty.
Stripped-down and intimate, “Sankofa” offers a heartfelt preview of her upcoming debut album, “After Midnight.” Inspired by the quiet, emotional hours past midnight, the album explores Gyakie’s personal journey through solitude, grief, and healing.
Deeply influenced by her upbringing, including her mother’s midnight prayers, “After Midnight” is a vulnerable, late-night soundtrack of self-discovery. Gyakie invites listeners into a raw, reflective space—best experienced when the world is still and the heart is open.
