Watch 'Africa Jamaica' by Morgan Heritage
Tanzanian singer Diamond Platnumz and Ghanian dancehall act Stonebwoy have been featured by Jamaican reggae group Morgan Heritage on their latest release, ‘Africa Jamaica’.
Morgan Heritage teased the video on the group’s official YouTube account on 17 October 2018 before premiering it on Friday.
The video for ‘Africa Jamaica’ was directed by award-winning Brazilian film and music video director Jordan Hoechlin in collaboration with Morgan Heritage. The music video was shot in Ghana last month.
This project forms part of the Ghana Jamaica Homecoming Festival, an initiative that was launched in July 2018 for the purpose of promoting music, tourism, investment, sports and cultural exchange between the two countries - and, by extension, among Caribbean and African countries at large.
Commenting about this new release, Morgan Heritage said: “Releasing ‘Africa Jamaica’ is a historic moment in our career that will forever live in our hearts. It was a joy to work with Diamond Platnumz and Stonebwoy - Africa’s best from east to west. We hope the people in Africa and around the world will love the music video.”
Both Diamond Platnumz and Stone have previously worked with the Jamaican group, on the tracks ‘Hallelujah’ and ‘Reggae Night’ respectively. ‘Hallelujah’ proved a particularly successful collaboration, with the music video for the song reaching over one million YouTube views in just 15 hours after its release.
Diamond Platnumz said: “It is always a vibe working with my brothers Morgan Heritage. This is our second song together and I am excited that we have made yet another mega-hit for our fans.”
‘Africa Jamaica’ is off Morgan Heritage’s upcoming (but as yet untitled) album, which is set for release in 2019.
