Ghanaian multi-talented artiste Percy Abukanala, popularly known in the music industry as Kanaala, is set to mark a major milestone in his musical career with the release of his highly anticipated debut album, “SABILA.”

The album will officially be released on 31st October 2026, with a grand Music Concert and Album Release scheduled to take place at Nima Frankie’s Hotel. The event is expected to bring together music lovers, industry players, creatives, friends, family, distinguished guests and supporters of the artiste as Kanaala celebrates a defining chapter in his career.

SABILA: A Story of Resilience, Struggle and Triumph

More than just a collection of songs, SABILA represents the story of Kanaala’s life, experiences and evolution as an artiste.

The project explores themes of resilience, struggles, controversy, influence, love, culture, tradition, development and success, while documenting the journey of a young man determined to overcome obstacles and become the best version of himself.

Through the album, Kanaala opens a window into some of the experiences that have shaped his identity and career. His journey has not been without challenges, controversies and moments of uncertainty, but SABILA reflects an undying spirit that continues to push him forward.

The album therefore serves as both a personal statement and a celebration of perseverance, a reminder that setbacks can become stepping stones toward greatness.

From Builsa Roots to a Bigger Musical Vision

Born Percy Abukanala in La, a suburb of Greater Accra, Kanaala hails from the Upper Eastern Region of Ghana and proudly identifies with the Builsa community, a heritage that remains an important part of his artistic identity.

His professional musical journey began in 2017, and over the years he has steadily built his name through the release of numerous singles and two EPs.

Kanaala is not only an artiste but also a songwriter, performer and producer, making him a versatile creative with a hands-on approach to his music and artistic direction.

His work has also earned him recognition beyond Ghana. In 2022, Kanaala won the “Most Outstanding Achievement in Music” award in China, organized by the Appreciate Africa Network. In 2023, he received another major honour from the same organization, being named “Most Influential African Man of the Year.”

These recognitions have added to his growing profile and reflect the influence he continues to build through his music, creativity and representation of African culture.

A Voice for Builsa Music

One of Kanaala’s greatest ambitions extends beyond his individual success. His vision is to take Builsa music and culture to Ghana, Africa and beyond, giving greater visibility to the sounds, stories, traditions and identity of his people.

Through his music, Kanaala hopes to contribute to the continued development and recognition of Builsa artistry while creating a platform through which audiences across Ghana and the world can experience the richness of his cultural heritage.

His approach combines cultural identity with contemporary sounds, allowing him to tell authentic stories while connecting with a wider audience.

Kanaala: A Symbol of Unity and Hard Work

Kanaala’s artistic journey is built on hard work, determination, resilience and an unwillingness to give up.

His story has positioned him as more than just a recording artiste. He represents a generation of creatives determined to use their talent and cultural identity to create opportunities, inspire others and place their communities on larger platforms.

As a pace setter and symbol of unity and hard work, Kanaala continues to champion the idea that success is possible when talent is supported by discipline, consistency and purpose.

The Big Night: 31st October 2026

The release of SABILA will be celebrated with a special Music Concert and Album Release at Nima Frankie’s Hotel on 31st October 2026.

The concert will provide fans and music lovers with an opportunity to experience Kanaala’s music live while celebrating the beginning of a new chapter in his career.

For an artiste whose professional journey began in 2017, the occasion represents more than an album launch. It is a celebration of the journey so far — the struggles, the lessons, the controversies, the victories and the dreams that continue to fuel his ambition.

With SABILA, Kanaala is not simply releasing an album. He is telling his story.

He is celebrating where he comes from, acknowledging where he has been and declaring where he intends to go.

As the clock counts down to 31st October 2026, anticipation continues to build around what could become one of the defining moments of Kanaala’s musical journey.

SABILA is coming — and Kanaala is ready to tell the world his story.
