Rising Afro-Fusion Artist MC New Headlines “Echoes of Our Heritage” Special on Afronovaradio.
ACCRA, GHANA — In a vibrant broadcast dedicated to the preservation and promotion of African identity, Afronovaradio recently hosted rising Afro-fusion star MC New for a deep dive into his musical journey and the ambitious Pan-African project, “Echoes of Our Heritage.”
The broadcast, characterized by a fusion of high-energy beats and thoughtful cultural discourse, served as a platform for MC New to showcase his latest tracks, including the rhythmic love song and the self-empowerment anthem “ Dzi Dzɔ Kpɔ Kpɔ .”
A Voice for the “Up-and-Coming”
During the interview, MC New ( Born Martin Corku Agbenavor ) spoke candidly about the “rocky road” faced by independent artists in Ghana. Navigating the conversation in a mix of English and Pidgin, he addressed the economic hardships currently felt on the streets, noting that “money matters” are the primary concern for the youth.
“As an up-and-coming artist, the road be very rocky,” MC New shared. “Unless you are in the limelight, you don’t enjoy the appreciation you expect. We need more support for those of us without big record labels to polish our craft.”
Despite these challenges, MC New’s music remains a celebration of African diversity. A polyglot who speaks Twi, Ewe, English, and Ga, he seamlessly integrates these dialects into his songs—a feat the host praised for its “command over the local vibration.” https://ditto.fm/mc-new-alogboshie
Echoes of Our Heritage: A Call to Artists
A focal point of the broadcast was the “Echoes of Our Heritage” project, presented by KA Hypercon Entertainment. The initiative is a massive Pan-African collaboration seeking to unite the continent through music, traditional rhythms, and indigenous instruments.
The project details include:
Submission Period: February 1st to March 15th, 2026.
Requirements: Artists are encouraged to submit demos that embody the theme of “Africa Unite.”
Prizes: All-expenses-paid trips to three African countries, recording deals, and significant cash prizes.
Ghanaian Auditions: Local artists can secure their spot by purchasing the official project t-shirt for 300 Ghana Cedis.
MC New expressed his excitement for the movement, suggesting that such initiatives are the “baton” that must be passed to the next generation to achieve the liberation envisioned by leaders like Kwame Nkrumah.
From Love Songs to Continental Unity
The artist also shared the philosophy behind his hit, “Dzi Dzɔ Kpɔ Kpɔ,” explaining that happiness must come from within rather than from external substances. “I’m stronger than the madness,” he sings, a message he hopes will act as a campaign against drug abuse among the youth.
As the show concluded with a tribute to African women in the song “Mama Africa,” the host reminded listeners that building the continent requires active support for local talent.
