Ama Asantewa Diaka (who performs as Poetra Asantewa) is a sensational balance of poetry, music, intellect and wit. She is a multifaceted Ghanaian performer who combines smooth-like-butter neo-soul beats, lyricism informed by pointed social critique, and heartfelt vocalisation to deliver pieces that speak to the circumstances of topics like migration, feminism, mental health, and self-acceptance. With 1 album and 3 EPs to her name, Poetra has performed on different stages, festivals, events and places throughout the world.
