Black Stars' striker Asamoah Gyan ventures into music, features on Castro's African Girls

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •    •  

Asamoah Gyan aka Baby Jet was the first Ghanaian to score in a World Cup and he's scored another first, by becoming the first footballer to venture into hiplife music. He features with popular hiplife star, Castro the Destroyer, in a classic video, African Girls. Asamoah Gyan is also very popular for his goal celebration dances, some of which he performs in the music video. The song and music video has been greeted positively by music fans as it is becoming very popular.

The song is produced by Castro's Wondzie Entertainment. The Takoradi native has been struggling to enjoy the same success he had during the times of hit songs like Sradenam and Toffee, and this Asamoah Gyan collaboration might just do the trick. The idea of singing about African women is not as fashionable as of 2005 but it is the focus of the song. Castro and Asamoah Gyan sing about Ghanaian and African women. The song mentions "African girls dey be, dance to the groove and feel the heat". "African girls dey be, them be sweet, them be sexy like cheese". It's a party type track and not exactly one that empowers women. Then again, how many African songs do that?

Do it like an African

Do it like an African

Ladies and gentlemen
My name is Wax
And I'm going to be your guide for the next five minutes or so

Now, I know a lot of people are coming down to South Africa to have some soccer fun
But it's not all about that
It's about the people, the music, the history, the culture

There is nothing like the African experience
So right now I am going to teach you how to do it like an African

Do it, do it oho
Do do do it, do it oho
Do it, do it, oho, Do it, do it, oho
Do it, do it, oho, Do it, do it, oho

Girl you got swag you got attitude
Make an African man wanna be with you
You heard
