Minna LaFortune’s latest single, “African Women,” is a heartfelt tribute, with heart and purpose. Borne of reggae, the track shuffles with a contagious ease, like hope and freedom, you feel it instantly as the beat drops. That is more than a catchy tune. It’s a bold anthem for African women everywhere and for women of African heritage across the world, yet Minna LaFortune makes that dedication feel real and profound. Fonogi is a song of Strength and so much pride, appreciating the resilience, grace, and impact of African women around the world.
What is striking about “African Women” is the way it contrasts a doomed message with an uplifting musical vibe. The beat provides a lively, catchy groove without ever distracting from the song’s primary aim. It doesn’t play with the idea of sticking you in a corner, there’s no mockery at the powerless for letting herself be trapped into denying her fundamental right to be alone. The track is celebratory, an invitation to dance and think and feel part of something bigger. There’s confidence and warmth in Minna’s delivery, an admiration apparent that sounds no more sincere than empowering. The song acknowledges the vital role of African women in society, doing so with a tone that’s proud but modest, like a heartfelt eulogy.
At a time when the quiet strength of a woman is easily overlooked, “African Woman” serves as a breath of fresh air, reminding us all that women are powerful and beautiful no matter where they come from. That’s what Minna LaFortune has delivered with this gift of a reggae anthem that doesn’t just entertain but also uplifts and honors.
