About
Singer and songwriter from Nigeria, based in Cologne.
Amaechina, also known as Ama Okere.
Born name: Amaechina Okerenkwo
In his own words
I’m a singer and songwriter from Nigeria. I have performed with Lionel Richie, Wyclef Jean from the Fugees, Gentleman, Patrice and Bantu (who released the Nzobu song in Nigeria).
I have been singing for 30 years; my first song is called Run Away.
My music direction — I call it Kalapolo Music — is based on reggae and Afrobeat, mixed with hip-hop beats.
My goal is for people to love one another, because what we sow is what we reap. I love life, and life can be educative.
Peace to everyone!

Kalapolo
Music
Reggae and Afrobeat at the root, hip-hop beats on top.
Kalapolo Music is the name Amaechina gives his music direction — and the label behind his releases. You can hear it on the album «Feeling is sure» and the single «Cameraman».
