Juojo play videoJuojo

The philosophy behind this "Sisi Coro" music as a campaign message for the corona virus pandemic, is it to give the following: communication, information, education, and entertainment on the covid-19 pandemic.

The entertainment aspect of the music is to ground or get the attention of the general public. Hence the choice of the musical style or genre called "Colomashie" which embraces Ghanaian popular musical rhythms. The choice of language( Akan) was to make easy the spread of the educational content to the general public. This is not to down play the other languages.

The narrative calls on the general public to come together as citizens to eradicate the Covid-19 pandemic virus, psychologically, religiously, emotionally, physically, and socially.

The first verse informs the general public about the cause and effect of the virus at hand to the whole world. The second verse speaks of preventive measures as has been provided by world Health Organization,which Ghana Health Service is also ensuring its propagation.

In conclusion, Sisi Coro music has come to motivate and encourage the general public, that together we can eradicate the Covid-19 pandemic virus.
