Fantan Mojah has described his presence in Ghana as more than a performance visit, calling it a spiritual homecoming shaped by decades of musical connection with Africa.
Speaking on Urban Blend on 3FM with Blakk Rasta monitored by MyNewsGh, the Jamaican reggae singer said the continent has always embraced his music long before industry validation caught up.
“This is not my first time in Africa. I’ve been to Gambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi,” he said. “Zimbabwe was one of the biggest crowds I ever stand before. Three hours straight on stage. Africa understand this music.”
Now in Ghana for Stonebwoy’s annual Bhim Festival, Fantan Mojah said the invitation represents a full-circle moment built on respect and shared roots.
“People always tell me Stonebwoy grow up on my music,” he said. “So when one of my fans become an artist and bring me in place, you give thanks for that. Music have no boundary.”
He compared Ghana’s energy to Jamaica’s cultural spirit, saying the familiarity struck him immediately on arrival.
“When I reach the airport and see the whole setting, I say, ‘Big Jamaica me deh.’ The people warm. The spirit real.”
Fantan Mojah also pushed back against the idea that African audiences are passive consumers of reggae.
“Africa don’t just listen. Africa feel this music. Upliftment music can’t be stopped.”
With Bhim Festival set for December 24 at the Accra Sports Stadium, Mojah said Ghana should expect a spiritually charged performance.
“When I go on stage, most times I don’t even know what I will do,” he said. “The spirit take over. That is what Africa brings out of me.”
