From Afar, Konkarah’s latest musical endeavor, is a 15-track project that delves into a diverse range of themes, including consciousness, repatriation, lovers’ rock, and sound system culture. The album seamlessly blends elements of Afrobeats, Amapiano, hip-hop, RnB, dancehall, and reggae roots, demonstrating Konkarah’s versatility and his desire to appeal to a broad audience.

The album features collaborations with prominent artists such as Anthony B, Suezway, Osagyefo, Topgyal Renner, Ras Charmer, and others, further enriching its sonic tapestry. Released on July 26th, From Afar is available on all major music platforms for streaming and download.

To complement the album’s release, Konkarah has also unveiled a series of music videos, starting with the title track “From Afar.” The launch event was a resounding success, drawing a significant crowd that included media personality PY Addo Boateng, musician Topgyal Renner, Osagyefo, and various other industry figures.
