On May 23, 2025, Ghanaian songstress Wiyaala will release her soulful rendition of Osibisa's Welcome Home to celebrate Africa Day on the 25th May.

Whether returning after a long absence, visiting to explore heritage or relocating to build new lives, she calls for a motherland that embraces all: "As an indigenous African from Funsi, I hope our returnees will find their spiritual and family roots," Wiyaala says. "It's not enough to welcome them; we, the 'in-residence' Africans, must try to help them reconnect on many levels." Her powerful vocals and acoustic production transform Welcome Home into an anthem of belonging, inviting newcomers and returnees to trace lineages, join festivals, and feel Africa's heartbeat.Read Also: Empowerment in Every Beat: Wiyaala Ah Moon Lead "Get Wise" Revolution The song also aligns seamlessly with Ghana's Black Star Experience, launched in May 2025 to rebrand the nation as Africa's cultural hub.
