Ghanaian Afro Rock and Jazz sensation Dela Jackson — born Jackson Delali Kwaokumey — is set to captivate music lovers once again with his upcoming single titled “Tunaabu”, slated for release on November 14, 2025. The song, which will be distributed across all major digital platforms by Apprise Music, promises to take listeners on a nostalgic journey through the vibrant fashion, language, and vibes of the past.
Recorded at Breezy Breeze Studio, Tunaabu embodies a refreshing blend of Afro Rock and Jazz elements that showcase Dela Jackson’s deep connection to his roots. The artist describes the song as being inspired by “the fashion and terms used during my youthful days,” hoping that listeners will “feel the nostalgia back in the days” through its sound and storytelling.
The creative process behind Tunaabu was a spontaneous and mood-driven experience that unfolded over two months. Dela Jackson collaborated with his trusted sound engineer, Ebenezer Opare, who contributed significantly to the arrangement of the drums, bass, and keyboard lines. Reflecting on the process, Dela shared that there were no challenges in making the song — only pure artistic flow. His favorite part of the track, he says, lies in its heartfelt lyrics, which vividly remind him of his youthful experiences.
The music video, directed by the talented Ted Mingle, is ready and will be released soon after the audio premiere. Shot in Accra, particularly around Kanda and Ridge, the video visually captures the essence of “the days of old,” complementing the song’s nostalgic theme with scenes that blend culture, fashion, and timeless energy.
Through Tunaabu, Dela Jackson seeks to reconnect audiences with Ghana’s cultural essence and the vibrancy of youth from earlier times. “I want fans and listeners to know about the terms and fashion styles we used back in the days,” he shared, emphasizing the song’s purpose as both a musical and cultural time capsule.
As he prepares for the release, Dela Jackson hints at more to come, promising new projects and collaborations that will continue his mission of soulful storytelling. With a personal mantra that “quitters never win and winners never quit,” Dela reaffirms his identity as the soul healer — an artist devoted to inspiring, healing, and reviving the spirit of authentic African music.
