Kawabanga – Mefiri Santa

Ghanaian rapper Kawabanga continues to represent his roots in Kumasi with a song titled “Mefiri Santa”, officially released on 11 November 2026. Produced by Remy, the recording carries a title that connects the Asakaa rapper to his hometown and the community associated with his musical journey.

“Mefiri Santa” is an expression in Twi meaning “I Come From Santa”, with Santa referring to Santasi, a community in Kumasi in Ghana’s Ashanti Region. The title places Kawabanga’s background at the centre of the release, reflecting the importance of hometown identity in Ghanaian hip-hop culture.

Kawabanga is recognised as one of the musicians associated with the Asakaa movement, which helped introduce Ghanaian drill music to a wider audience. The movement emerged from Kumasi, bringing attention to the city’s young rappers, their local expressions and their experiences growing up in different communities.

For many musicians within Ghana’s drill scene, mentioning their hometown is more than simply identifying where they come from. It can represent loyalty, personal history and recognition of the people and surroundings that influenced their development.

The title “Mefiri Santa” follows this tradition, presenting a direct reference to Kawabanga’s connection with Santasi. It also gives listeners outside Kumasi an introduction to a community associated with the rapper’s identity.

The recording was produced by Remy, who is also credited for Kawabanga’s “Osagyefo Dr. Kawabanga”, another song released on 11 November 2026. The two releases demonstrate the continued working relationship between the rapper and the producer.

According to the official credits, Patrick Sarfo composed and wrote “Mefiri Santa”, receiving recognition as both composer and lyricist.

Kawabanga’s involvement in the Asakaa movement has helped establish his name among listeners interested in Ghanaian drill and contemporary rap. His recordings contribute to a music culture that frequently incorporates Twi, local slang and references to life in Kumasi.

The release of “Mefiri Santa” alongside “Osagyefo Dr. Kawabanga” adds two new recordings to his 2026 catalogue, both produced by Remy.

With “Mefiri Santa”, Kawabanga puts his hometown identity in the spotlight through a title that celebrates his connection to Kumasi.
