Grammy-nominated Ghanaian musician and activist Rocky Dawuni has released a new single, “I Got A Song,” featuring Cedella Marley, daughter of reggae icon Bob Marley. The cross-continental collaboration aims to deliver a message of peace and generational solidarity amid mounting global and domestic polarization.

The track, released on July 18, draws on the concept of intergenerational unity found in Indigenous traditions, emphasizing the responsibility of current and future generations to act collectively in pursuit of common goals. In an interview with Channel One TV, Dawuni cited rising global inequality, anti-immigrant sentiment, and partisan rancor in Ghanaian politics as key motivators behind the song.

“In Ghana, we are constantly bickering along political lines,” Dawuni said during a broadcast appearance on Channel One TV’s Breakfast Daily. “There’s no collective momentum. We’re just marking time in the same place.”

The single arrives at a time of deep political polarization in Ghana, where Dawuni has become increasingly vocal about the need for national cohesion. The musician warned that political dysfunction threatens to stall development and called for a cultural reset rooted in shared purpose.

Dawuni, whose Afro-Roots sound blends reggae, soul, highlife, and Afrobeats, said music remains one of the most effective tools for repairing social rifts. “‘I Got A Song’ is about tuning the strings of global dissonance,” he said. “It’s a reminder that despite our differences, we share one destiny.”

Cedella Marley’s involvement adds both symbolic and musical weight to the project, uniting African and Caribbean voices in a call for harmony. Marley, an accomplished artist in her own right, is known for championing pan-African identity through her work and advocacy.

Dawuni previously received a Grammy nomination for his 2015 album Branches of the Same Tree, and he continues to blend music with activism, positioning himself as a voice for inclusive development and cross-cultural understanding.
