Sarkodie – Womba Ft. Shakka & Herman $uede

Womba is track 14 on Sarkodie’s Black Love album, released December 20, 2019, and it’s one of the album’s more international, dancehall-tinged cuts. Produced by Beatfreakz, the song runs 2:50 and sits on a bouncy, upbeat beat with a blend of Afrobeats percussion and UK dancehall bounce. Sarkodie raps in Twi and English, while UK artists Shakka and Herman $uede handle the hook and verses, bringing a different energy that shifts the vibe from the more traditional Ghanaian tracks on the project.

Lyrically, “Womba” is slang for a curvaceous woman, and the song is a playful, flirtatious track about attraction and party vibes. Sarkodie opens with confident bars about noticing a woman’s body and wanting to have a good time, while Shakka and Herman $uede add their melodic, dancehall-infused delivery to keep it light and club-friendly. It’s less deep than other tracks on Black Love and leans more into fun, celebration, and international appeal.

On the album, Womba serves as a crossover moment that shows Sarkodie’s reach beyond Ghana and Nigeria. Bringing in UK-based artists gave the project a UK Afroswing flavor that was big in 2019, and the production by Beatfreakz reflects that sound. It wasn’t a major single, but it stands out as one of the more energetic, replayable tracks for parties and playlists. The feature also highlights Sarkodie’s strategy on Black Love of blending local and international sounds to celebrate black love and culture globally.
