Perhaps prophetic, Ghanaian music sensation Black Sherif’s song, ‘Kwaku The Traveller’ has traveled far and beyond places yet to be visited by the musician.
The track, which was released on March 30, 2022, and was produced by Joker Nharnah, has received over 75 million streams and is still going strong on various streaming platforms.
Kwaku The Traveller has been at the top of major music playlists across the world since its release, debuting at number one on Apple Music’s Top 100 in both Ghana and Nigeria.
The song soared to prominence as the world’s most searched music on Shazam, as well as the number one spot on Triller, Deezer, and
Boomplay’s Hot Trending 100. It also hit Spotify’s Viral 50 rankings, reaching number one in Sweden, number five in the United Kingdom,
number ten on Spotify Global, number two in Norway, number three in Denmark, number six in both the Netherlands and Belgium, and
number nine in France, among other places.
This stratospheric rise comes as no surprise to music fans all around the world, as the song is focused on a gripping story of a young guy on a lifelong journey in quest of greatness, complete with a well-crafted storyline and fantastic melodies.
Born and raised in the Ashanti region of Ghana, Black Sherif‘s cult following is fast spreading across the globe.
A game-changing year (2021) for the charismatic artist began with the First and Second instalments of his Sermon freestyle series with the latter gaining over 2 million views in less than 2 weeks and then going on to be remixed with global giant, Burna Boy.
Prior to that, Black Sherif in 2020 began a steady rise after his releases; ‘Money’ and ‘Destiny’ went viral and were highly praised by the Ghanaian music scene.
