The song is the title track from his upcoming album, in which the singer makes a harsh criticism of the current political class around the world, in line with his goal of giving a voice to the voiceless.

The single is accompanied by a video directed by Ecko Nesta himself, in which images of different conflicts in the world representing “Malaria” are mixed with the interpretation of the theme.
Political Malaria was produced by one of Jamaica’s top reggae producers, Mr Sidney Mills from the legendary and Grammy Award winning band, Steel Pulse, and was mixed & mastered at Tuff Gong studio, in Kingston, Jamaica.
It’s distributed by VPAL and is available on YouTube and on all digital platforms.

Von Sinu releases debut single ‘Thank You’
Von Sinu, an upcoming gospel musician, has released her debut single titled ‘Thank You’ which is gaining popularity on the airwaves and streaming platforms.
‘Thank you’ seeks to appreciate God for his goodness and faithfulness in her life.
In an interview with The Spectator in Accra, Von, who is also a fashion designer said “looking back at my life and what God has told me about myself, I was grateful.
She said she had to record it and later sent it to a friend who has been very instrumental in her being a gospel singer.
She said though there were other songs written and recorded, she thought it was prudent to release ‘Thank you’ as the Bible urges believers to give thanks in Psalm 92:1-2: “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name”
The song is available on all digital platforms including Youtube, Spotify, Apple music Deezer and Tidal.
