Welcome to Ghana by Samini
This music video, directed and edited by Omari Pili, is Samini's personal version of the popular Damian Marley track Welcome to Jamrock. He sings about being in Ghana and welcoming people to Ghana.
Samini is a versatile artist out of Ghana, West Africa. Titled 'Welcome to Ghana', the video was done during a special production in 2007. They were there doing a documentary but then took some time out to do a music video. The directors met with Samini and loved his vibe and then chose to film a quick video. It was only now publicly released because the director was simply too busy to get it out.
From the producer, Firebon, "He is a talented guy who deserves all the success, if you can use it to help him I will help as much as I can".
