Renowned Ghanaian reggae artist Shasha Marley has recently put out a new song that draws attention to the heavy traffic congestion in the Spintex area of Accra.
Spintex is a sought-after location and is home to many important personalities in the country.
In a recent interview with Abeiku Santana on Okay FM, the artist explained that the inspiration behind his new song came from a harrowing experience involving his sick child, who was delayed getting medical attention due to the traffic.
According to Shasha Marley, he used to live in Spintex but had to relocate due to the severe traffic congestion, which has become a major concern for residents and public figures. Notably, influential figures such as Ghana’s speaker of parliament Alban Bagbin, journalist Kwame Sefa Kayi, and the Inspector General of Police have all moved out of the area due to the same issue.
The song is aimed at raising awareness and drawing attention to the challenges presented by the traffic situation in Spintex, with the hope that relevant authorities will take action to address it.
The release of Shasha Marley’s new music has sparked reactions from netizens, with some expressing solidarity with his frustrations and appreciating the social commentary in his music.
