Talk about pan-Africanism, these celebrities are using music to bridge the gap between Africa and the West

Ed Sheeran 

The famous British crooner Ed Sheeran has on more than one occasion expressed his interest in the afrobeats trend across Africa. He travelled to the West African country of Ghana and sampled sounds for his studio album “Divide” which eventually produced a song entitled “Bebia beye yie”.   He also joined forces with Fuse ODG and Mugeez on “Boa me” on which he sang in fluent Twi Language; one of the languages spoken in Ghana.
