Music: Blitz the Ambassador on Guardian.co.uk

By: Rob Fitzpatrick

Date: Thursday 19 May 2011

A former teen star in his native Ghana, rapper Samuel Bazawule is taking Afro-centric hip-hop to the US

Who is he?
Rapper Samuel Bazawule, 29, was born in Accra, Ghana. "It's a vibrant place," he says. "Music was everywhere, big speakers blaring in the open field or live bands playing highlife and Afrobeat covers." Already a teen star in Ghana, Blitz moved to New York – having taken a bachelor's degree from Kent State University in Ohio – in 2005.

He's not your typical say-nothing rap star then?
Not exactly. Blitz – and his band, the Embassy Ensemble – pack a brilliant fusion of styles. You can hear late-80s hip-hop alongside contemporary African soukous and highlife, as well as echoes of Afrobeat artists such as Fela Kuti and Papa Wemba. "Afro-centric hip-hop can make a comeback when the people are ready," he says. "I want to make positive change happen."
He sounds like an overachiever
Spot on. Blitz has just finished writing a screenplay and is now working on directing his first feature film, to be shot in Ghana. "It's about looking in the mirror and accepting who I am," he says. "Telling my story honestly with openness and vulnerability."

Where can I hear him?
The Native Sun album is on Jakarta Records. You can find Blitz's music at blitz.mvmt.com and Facebook.com/blitztheambassador.

Blitz the Ambassador and Ishmael Osekre play at -@ GHANA PARADE at Crotona Park in the Bronx, NY on Saturday, August 21st 2010

I would truly love to be at this year’s GHANA PARADE. I heard all about this wonderful celebratory, cultural event, –founded by Mr. Sam Aboah from friends last year –and it sounded fantastic. Similar to our Ghana in the Park (UK), NYC comes alive to the sound of hot hip-life, our culture, our food and our people –in a sea of ‘Red-Gold-Green and Kente in Crotona Park, Bronx NY. .....To find out more about GHANA PARADE please visit: http://www.ghanaparadecouncil.org./

In the mean time check out Blitz the Ambassador’s latest ‘Something to Believe’



“Directed by Terence Nance, the film addresses the detachment we all battle, when faced with the the world's overwhelming issues. "It's hard to think about all the problems in the world without getting a little overwhelmed. So, a lot of times we just ignore things. I think Africa has suffered a lot because people choose to remain ignorant, rather than address the issues that are right in front of our faces." Blitz the Ambassador
