new music “mango “ is out NOW!

Aka Kelzz, the rising UK artist based in Berlin Germany, has released their sweet tasty treat "Mango" with Ghanaian powerhouse Ria Boss. The song, which was released on March 1st, is a celebration of liberation, beauty, and self-acceptance.

"Mango" is a powerful and empowering track that tells the story of these two artists who initially met in April 2023 as panelists for EOTO and surprisingly again in Ghana in June 2023 for the Black Girls Glow organized by Poetra Ansantewa and MusicBoard Berlin. During this residency, Aka Kelzz experienced a profound sense of liberation. 

Ria Boss describes the song as "tasting and feeling like liberation and beauty." She says it feels "like the softness of the sun on my skin and reminds me of how sweet life can be when we accept ourselves."

The song was inspired by Aka Kelzz's experience visiting Ghana for the first time during the summer of 2023. "I saw my reflection daily," They say. "This unlocked a new level of Black liberation for me, and I want to bring this sunshine and liberation back to folks all over the world."

Ria Boss, who is also featured on the track, adds, "This song is about embracing our beauty and power. It's about not being afraid to be who we are and to shine our light."

"Mango" is a must-listen for anyone who is seeking inspiration, empowerment, and good vibes. It's a song that will make you feel good about yourself and ready to take on the world.
