Rocky Dawuni makes list of Africa’s 10 biggest artistes
Ghana may have missed out on the Forbes list of 40
most influential entertainers in Africa but when
CNN narrowed it down to ten of the continent’s
most famous and much-loved musical exports ten,
the celebrated and award-winning international
Ghanaian reggae artist, Rocky Dawuni made the cut.


Rocky, widely acclaimed as Ghana’s Bob Marley,
has over the years raised high the flag of Ghana
in international circles and has performed to
audiences across the world as well as working with
music legend, Stevie Wonder.

He has won several international awards from his
last album, Hymns for the Rebel Soul which was
released early this year.

The awards include, Best African Artist at this
year’s International Reggae and World Music
Awards (IRAWMA).

The world acclaimed Ghanaian singer, now based in
Los Angeles, was featured on CNN’s African
Voices in September this year.

Rocky Dawuni is the only Ghanaian in the featured
list which is dominated by Nigerian artistes such
as Asa, Nneka and 2Face Idibia.

Other renowned artistes who made it to the list
includes; Senegal’s Youssou N’Dour, Mali’s
Salif Keita and Somali-born rapper K’naan.
