Kuami Eugene – Makola

Kuami Eugene celebrates the heartbeat of Accra on Makola, a vibrant record inspired by the famous market that never sleeps. The Rockstar paints a picture of the hustle, the noise and the spirit of Ghanaian life through the lens of the country’s most famous trading hub, and he does it over a bright highlife and Afrobeats production.

Makola is a song about everyday Ghana. The traders, the buyers, the bargaining and the energy of a place where fortunes are made and lost daily all find their way into the lyrics, and the official music video, released on his channel, brings the market to the screen.

What Makola is about

Makola Market is more than a place to shop. It is a symbol of Ghanaian enterprise, the home of the market women who built the economy from the ground up, and Kuami Eugene treats it with affection. The verses celebrate the hustle and the humour of the market, the hook turns the name into a chant and the production, with its highlife guitar and busy percussion, sounds like the market itself. It is a love letter to the city.

Why the song connects

Songs about Ghanaian places have a long tradition, from highlife tributes to towns and regions to modern records like “Obuasi”, and Makola joins that line with one of the most recognisable names in the country. The official video, shot in and around the market, has drawn strong numbers, and the song has become a favourite for traders, market women and anyone who has ever bargained in the heat of Accra. It also shows Kuami Eugene’s eye for subjects that ordinary Ghanaians recognise.

For visitors to Ghana, it is the perfect introduction to the city’s most famous market.
