Ghanaian Afro Rock and Jazz sensation Dela Jackson is bringing back the soulful charm of the past with his upcoming single, “Tunaabu”, set for release on November 14, 2025. Distributed by Apprise Music, the track promises a heartfelt dive into Ghana’s cultural memory — celebrating fashion, language, and the rhythm of simpler days.
Recorded at Breezy Breeze Studio, Tunaabu blends Afro Rock and Jazz in a sound that feels both modern and timeless. The singer, born Jackson Delali Kwaokumey, says the song was inspired by “the fashion and terms used during my youthful days,” adding that he hopes listeners will “feel the nostalgia back in the days” through its storytelling and groove.
The making of ‘Tunaabu’
Dela Jackson describes the creative process as a free-flowing experience that took shape naturally over two months. Working alongside his long-time engineer, Ebenezer Opare, the two crafted the song’s drums, bass, and keyboard layers with an instinctive connection that required little revision. “There were no challenges — it just flowed,” Dela shared, noting that his favorite part of the track lies in its reflective lyrics, which remind him of his own youth.
A visual tribute to the old days
The music video, directed by Ted Mingle, complements the song’s nostalgic energy. Filmed around Kanda and Ridge in Accra, the visuals pay homage to “the days of old,” with vintage-inspired scenes, period fashion, and imagery that captures the energy of youthful Ghana.
For Dela, Tunaabu is more than just a song — it’s a cultural tribute. “I want fans and listeners to know about the terms and fashion styles we used back in the days,” he said, describing the single as a time capsule for Ghana’s evolving identity.
What’s next for Dela Jackson
As the release date draws near, Dela Jackson hints at more music and collaborations ahead. Guided by his mantra, “Quitters never win and winners never quit,” he continues to build his legacy as the soul healer — an artist devoted to preserving the spirit of authentic African sound.
Fans can connect with him on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Threads, and YouTube under the handle Dela Jackson.
Tunaabu arrives November 14 — a soulful reminder of Ghana’s golden days wrapped in rhythm, jazz, and heartfelt storytelling.
