Amsterdam based Ghanaian artiste, Berima Amo has joined forces with legendary Highlife musician, Pat Thomas to birth a motivational piece "Ɔkyena Asem," meaning Nobody Knows Tomorrow in English.

The song which dropped on Wednesday, February 28, resonates with listeners as it reflects on life's unpredictable journey and offers a message of encouragement.

In today's fast-paced world, where uncertainty looms around every corner, "Ɔkyena Asem" serves as a reminder that life holds no guarantees.

Through soulful melodies and lyrics, Berima Amo and Pat Thomas communicate a profound message that one should embrace life's uncertainties with hope and optimism.

Berima Amo's unparalleled musical prowess and warm sound of his trumpet shines through in "Ɔkyena Asem."
