Hon. Abla Dzifa Gomashie, Member of Parliament for Ketu South and Minister of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, has made a passionate appeal to the people of the Volta Region and the broader Ewe community to throw their full support behind Aflao’s celebrated music talent, Keeny Ice.
The Minister described Keeny Ice as “one of the shining sons” of the Ketu South creative industry—an artiste whose work continues to project the rhythm, poetry, and identity of Ewe music far beyond the borders of the region.
“Keeny Ice is carrying the voice of our people,” she emphasized. “Supporting him is not just supporting an artiste; it is supporting the rise of Ewe music, our cultural preservation, and the creative future of our youth.”
A New Wave of Ewe Melody and Modern Creativity
Keeny Ice has become one of the strongest ambassadors of Ewe-infused Afro-pop and rap, boldly weaving the Aŋlɔ language, proverbs, and street expressions into beats that resonate with both young listeners and traditional music lovers.
His rise has sparked a renewed interest among Ghanaian youth in:
Ewe oral poetry
Traditional storytelling
Indigenous rhythms
Creative identity linked to heritage
Industry watchers say Keeny Ice is creating a path that could place Ewe music on global charts, positioning it as a powerhouse in the African contemporary music space—much like Twi drill, Ga rap, or Yoruba Afrobeat, when some interact with News Volta

Hon. Dzifa Gomashie stressed that the creative arts thrive when communities offer their full support—through streaming, attendance at shows, digital engagement, and positive promotion.
“This is the moment for us to stand firmly behind our own,” she urged. “Keeny Ice represents the heartbeat of Aflao, the creativity of the Volta Region, and the resilience of Ewe culture. Let us support him so that Ewe music will not just be heard, but celebrated everywhere.”
