Mekra founder, Osofo Kojo Bentsir recently teamed up with Enam, Boggy Wenzday, and Kojo Vypa for his newest track, “Aware Pa.”
Bentsir, known for blending Spiritual Science into his music, delivers a resonant, harmonious piece that connects with a global audience.
Opening with Kojo Vypa’s soulful voice, an award-winning rapper and songwriter, the track transitions smoothly into Enam’s unique Afro-Spiritual sound, recently showcased at “Ghana’s Most Beautiful Pageant.”
Adding to the dynamic mix, Afro-pop and highlife artist Boggy Wenzday joins Bentsir, who weaves a spiritual theme throughout the song, representing a “good marriage” between love and spirituality.
The song promotes a balance of science and spirituality, inviting listeners to reconnect with their Akan “Kra,” or inner self.
This approach emphasizes that integrating these realms leads to a fuller experience of both the physical and divine, enriching one’s journey of self-awareness.
According to Bentsir, Spiritual Science—an ancient African tradition—extends beyond modern science by prioritizing personal growth and divine connection.
He points to Africa’s ancient wisdom, like the Dogon people’s early knowledge of Sirius B, illustrating a profound understanding of the cosmos long before telescopes.
Drawing from the “Sankofa” concept, which means “go back and retrieve it,” the song encourages a return to heritage and ancestral insight.
“Aware Pa” invites listeners to reconnect with their roots, advocating a revival of ancient values and a deeper sense of identity, often obscured by modern beliefs.
Ultimately, the track serves as a call to reclaim the depth of African spiritual wisdom and break free from limiting ideologies.
It’s a poignant reminder: “It’s not taboo to go back for what you’ve forgotten.”
