Watch Canadian-Ghanaian artist's dark video For ‘Lumumba’

A little over a month after sharing the lead single and accompanying music video from his sophomore LP 'Love and Lumumba', Canadian-Ghanaian self-coined ‘poetronica’ artist Ian Keteku drops the music video for the album’s title track.

Paired with a description that aptly reads, “The proverbial battle between The System and The Revolution – the struggle continues,” the video, which Keteku was writer/director/performer for, shows a series of intense boxing matches that culminate in a shocking act of violence.

The song itself, produced by Ottawa-based Driftnote, is considered by Keteku to be “a war cry honouring the fallen fighters of freedom and a revolutionary call to action of the heart.” With its at times frantic, at others calm mix of pounding drums and running electronics, the Patrice Lumumba-referencing track powerfully comes to life in this colorfully disturbing video.
