Mfantsipim’s Musical memory gets a new lease of life in 150th Anniversary anthology

Old boys recover historic school songs and highlife classics in a project that grew from a single competition entry For 150 years, Mfantsipim School has built a legacy that extends beyond its classrooms.

Now, the Mfantsipim Old Boys Association (MOBA) has brought many of those compositions together in a 14-track collection, the Mfantsipim Sesquicentennial Anthology, launched as part of the school’s 150th anniversary celebrations.

Another landmark composition, Dwin Hwɛ Kan, was composed around 1910 by Reverend Gaddiel Robert Acquaah and Charles Emmanuel Graves before being formally adopted as the school’s official anthem in 1963.
