Paramount Chief of Wa Enskin Samini As Pibiliinaa, Ahead of #Untamed Album Release
WaNaa, Paramount Chief of Wa, gave
Samini a ribald welcome this week at his palace on Tuesday, December 11,
exactly 11 days to Samini’s 7th Album “Untamed” release.
It’s been 8 years since Samini
visited home, Wa. And for the past years, Samini’s fans and natives have longed
for his homecoming and concert; but due to very tight schedules and
‘unfavorable’ calendars, Samini couldn’t make a return home until recently.
In the midst of a mammoth crowd
that thrones the WaNaa’s palace, Samini reaffirmed his connect with the
indigenes and his dagaati roots.
Samini after paying a courtesy
call on the Paramount Chief was enskined as PibiliiNaa, a local parlance which
connotes “King of The Little Rocks”. The name “Pibilii” was derived from one of
the native villages in lieu with Samini’s clan lineage, and as well a Chief
among the well-meaning and industrious youths of Wa, his hometown. Pibilii is a
small town in Mangu, where Samini’s Father comes from. Mangu is a town in Wa.
Waa Naa however made a plea to
Samini to use his platform and network to support upcoming music talents from
Wa and Upper West Region so as thy could reach mainstream and global standards
(as him). The Paramount Chief pledged to give Samini a land for a studio
project that would facilitate the churning of musicians from Wa and its
environs.
Samini in a grandeur was clothed
in a new Royal 3-piece traditional smock, known as “fugu” with matchup royal
shoes made from scarce leather. He was blessed by the Chief and made to ride on
a horse from the Paramount Chief’s palace.
Ahead of his 7th studio album
launch, titled “Untamed”, Samini shot a music video for the lead single (an
intro) in the Chief’s Palace, to accentuate his belongingness and direct
connect with his roots.
Also set for December 22 is his
annual festival, Saminifest. Aside Saminifest, the international music icon,
Samini, also announced a homecoming music festival in Wa henceforth, annually,
to keep the connect with his fellow Wa indigenes. Samini is now managed by
Africa 1 Media, based in Accra, Ghana’s capital city.
