Sarkodie Unleashes Summer Anthem “Lavida Loca” Featuring Lasmid

A towering force in African music, Sarkodie stands as one of Ghana’s most celebrated rap icons, with an influence that extends far beyond the continent. Boasting over tens of millions of streams, 80+ prestigious awards, and sold-out shows across the globe — including London’s O2 Kentish Town Forum — Sarkodie returns this summer with a vibrant new single, “Lavida Loca,” featuring Ghanaian sensation Lasmid.

Blending the rich sounds of hiplife, hip-hop, and Afrobeats, Lavida Loca explodes with energy right from the start. Sarkodie delivers his signature sharp, confident flow, while Lasmid adds a catchy, feel-good hook that instantly grabs attention. The track’s upbeat, danceable rhythm is powered by none other than award-winning producer M.O.G Beatz, who is widely known for his work with artists like Kizz Daniel, King Promise, and Kwesi Arthur.

Warm, infectious, and effortlessly replayable, Lavida Loca is destined to become a summer favourite — the kind of anthem you want playing as the soundtrack to unforgettable memories.

This release is yet another testament to Sarkodie’s consistent innovation and leadership in the music space. More than just a rapper, he continues to influence cultural moments across the diaspora. As the creative director of the UK’s Ghana Party In The Park, Sarkodie has long championed Ghanaian talent on international stages. From sold-out performances with The Compozers at venues like the O2 Kentish Town Forum and Outernet London, to receiving coverage from top UK platforms such as Clash Magazine, Notion, and GRM Daily, his global impact is undeniable.

Speaking about the release, Sarkodie shared:

“It’s about that time — summer time — and it’s only right we capture the beautiful moments while we’re outside with an amazing soundtrack. This new record ‘Lavida Loca’ does that perfectly! Big shouts to M.O.G on the production and Lasmid for creating one of the most simple but catchy hooks ever made… I want the world to have fun with this one!”

“Lavida Loca” is out now on all major platforms — a must-listen to elevate your summer vibe.
