When Kwabena Prah steps on stage, you don’t just hear a voice you experience a presence. With more than two decades of commanding Ghana’s airwaves and performance spaces, he is a living embodiment of artistic versatility and cultural pride.
A renowned radio personality, seasoned actor, and captivating spoken word artist, Kwabena doesn’t merely perform he transforms spaces. Fusing poetry with traditional African rhythms, dance drama, and ceremonial cadence, his work isn’t just seen or heard it’s felt.
From historic events like Marcus Garvey Day at the Gold Coast Bar, to artistic showcases at Goethe-Institut, Alliance Française, Iguala Inn, and with the National Symphony Orchestra, his performances have bridged generations and genres. Most recently, he delivered a deeply moving tribute during the Daddy Lumba Vigil, honoring one of Ghana’s highlife legends with poetic grace.
Kwabena’s style is fluid yet forceful, ceremonial yet contemporary. His ability to adapt his craft for tributes, corporate gatherings, public forums, and emotionally charged commemorations has earned him both reverence and demand.
Now, as he steps into the ring at the Ehalakasa National Poetry Slam Prelims 2025, he brings not just experience but conviction that spoken word can catalyze real social change when harnessed with clarity and heart.
This isn’t just another performance for Kwabena Prah.
It’s a mission. And Ghana is listening.
