Jojo Abot

Ghanaian afro-soul and jazz singer Jojo Abot has released the spellbinding video for ‘’.

‘Lom Vava’ is the first video from Jojo Abot’s recently released EP, ‘Fyfya Woto’. The EP is named after a young Anlo (Ghanaian) woman hungry to be loved. Caught in a compromising situation with her Caucasian lover in a time of slavery and divide, she is brought before a tribunal at which she must save not only herself but also her lover.

The singer in an email to Pulse Music had this to say about her video:

“This song for me was birthed out of a need to express that overwhelming feeling of being at a fork in the road. A place and time where you find yourself desiring something that directly contradicts what society dictates but having the boldness to be responsible for that decision.

“A confession of ones true convictions. An apology for disappointing ones parents. A declaration of stubbornness. A feeling of helplessness rooted in strength. A confession of love. A commitment to love.

"A woman executing her right to live her own life against the grain and against the norm. Right there in that song, I feel Fyfya Woto come alive over and over again with purpose…"

'Lom Vava' was shot in Connecticut in July 2015. Watch it below.
