Rocky Dawuni has released his new music video for the hit single �African Thriller� in partnership with Entertainment Weekly. The timing of the video launch occurred just a few days after the 40th anniversary of the legendary �Rumble in the Jungle� boxing match between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, and the video draws inspiration from that momentous event. At a time when news about Africa is dominated by the Ebola crisis, �African Thriller� offers a positive message celebrating African strength, unity and indomitable spirit. Watch the video: �African Thriller,� sung in West African pidgin English, embodies Rocky Dawuni�s unique �Afro-Roots� sound, a funky blend of soul, pop, Afrobeat and reggae grooves that have made him a household name in his native Ghana and earned him a wide following across the globe. Jeremy Sole, a DJ, producer and host on the taste-defining Los Angeles radio station KCRW, remixed the single version of �African Thriller.� Shot in Los Angeles, the highly polished music video, directed by Glen Wilson, and choreographed by Kara Mack, offers an explosion of West African inspired dance moves, rich colors, and a celebratory atmosphere.
