Ghanaian highlife songwriter Akwaboah joins Danish-Ghanaian singer Zac Celinder on “Helping Hand,” a duet built entirely around kindness and community support.
Akwaboah’s reputation as a master keyboardist and Sarkcess Music songwriter runs deep. He wrote “Daa Ke Daa” for Becca and co-wrote Sarkodie’s “Mary” album. So “Akwaboah Helping Hand” isn’t his first time reaching for something emotionally weighty, though pairing with a Danish-Ghanaian artist gives it a slightly different international texture than his usual catalogue. A warm acoustic arrangement carries the whole thing, built on grand piano chords and gentle guitar licks that never rush toward a chorus.
Akwaboah opens the record with his signature smooth, emotionally rich delivery, mixing Twi and English as he offers reassurance from the first line. His voice has that steady, comforting quality that’s made him a go-to collaborator across Ghanaian music for years. Zac Celinder then adds his own vocal texture, layering in harmonies that push the emotion a bit further without overwhelming Akwaboah’s lead. The song lands on themes of lifting someone up when they’ve fallen and surviving hard seasons together.
