Written before 2016 and produced between 2017-2022, MEGBORNA - The Album, is the coming-of-age project of Ghanaian Spoken Word Artist and Musician, Megborna, during the break of dawn of his journey of conscious awakening of self. Stretched over eleven tracks with a listen time of 46 minutes the artistβs Sophomore Album, which bares the same name as the artist as well as the lead single on the album, MEGBORNA, is a the cohesive message of Afro Consciousness, Afro Identity and Culture, and a walk down the dreaded corridors of African History, the kind never taught in Schools.Starting with Knock Knock, which is a bidding message highlighting the need to wake in oneβs identity, the massage is further reinforced in the lead piece MEGBORNA. The Afro Spiritual Groove which features Iver is a mission of Afro Consciousness and a call to reclaim oneβs African Stories by reclaiming indigenous narratives. Talk of Identity, the album cohesively weaves into ALKEBULAN, a time of ancient beauty and glory, of long-forgotten powerful civilisation and a people. It is a world of vivid re-imagination of Africa in the time it was referred to as ALKEBULAN, drawing connections and looking through the timelines from long before Hanibal of ancient Carthage, Scipio Africanus of Rome's war crusades in what is present-day North Africa. It looks at Ancient Kemet in all its grandeur, the old works of Ile Ife, and the empires that existed long before what is now Africa. It recounts this land long before its contact with the Western worlds and Europe, tracing it through colonialism down to the present day. In Freedom; We Came A Long Way, the artist explores the effects of the Western world on Africa from slavery, through colonialism and the fight for African Freedom and The New African Identity pronounced by Kwame Nkrumah on eve of Ghanaβs Independence. A message explored from the perspective of an African back home in Africa and an African American viewpoint, featuring IMAYAA.In MIAWOE (We are the Ones) and WOAWOE (They are the ones) featuring Nyamekye, the artist examines the roles we each played and are playing in our current realities as a people. In Broken Pots featuring Jamaicaβs Ras Takura, the message comes home, talking about the politics of the home, betrayals and survivals and Afro Caribbean Identities which extends into Stolen Love, a sequel to Lorlornye from the artistβs 2017 debut album, AGOO - Silver Words.Like water wets a choked throat, the entire album is cooled and made to settle in your mind with an Afro Spiritually intense and reflective Groove, The Sound Of Freedom. The album comes to a spin-off halt in A Billion Voices. MEGBORNA - The Album is a walk down the ancient history of what is now Africa and the surfing current tides of today. A Spoken Word Album of intense Afro Spiritual Groove. The go-to Afro Conscious, Afro History, Afro Spiritual and Afro Identity message. This is not just an album, this is education.
