Lamisi

Real World Records has announced the signing of Lamisi — one of Ghana’s most popular artists and an activist for the rights of women and girls — with the release of her new album Let Us Clap — a collaboration with innovative music producer and auteur Wanlov the Kubolor, which marks a radical reinvention of her sound. The first single, titled ‘No Orgasm in Heaven’, is available digitally now. Lamisi’s powerful, soulful voice bridges traditional northern Ghanaian rhythms with contemporary sounds. Based in Accra, she leads the Lamisi Fata Foundation, which empowers girls in her home region’s deeply patriarchal society. Her new new album celebrates women’s clapping traditions from northern Ghana while championing female empowerment and social change.
