In an interview with the Daily Graphic, he said, “I am thankful to God for such an opportunity to represent the Schagerl brand, this is for the whole African continent.”

In celebration of his endorsement deal, Berima Amo, who is into Highlife and Afro Jazz, has released a visual EP titled Afrovibes & Rhythms.
The EP was recorded in Accra with four amazing musicians; Victor Dey Jr (keyboards), Bright Osei (Bass), Joseph Bannor and Nana Kojo Siebu (Percussion).
According to Berima Amo, “In an era where there's a decline in real authentic African music, these sounds are a breath of fresh air for the global world music scene.
“ I am super excited because I have always wanted to make a record without western drums and rather with exclusively African drums.”
He told Daily Graphic that he planned to release songs for four consecutive weeks this month.
Berima Amo has a number of albums to his credit, including Journey of the African Drum released in 2018. Last year, he released a project called Year of Return which had three singles, Yaa Amponsah, Ama Bonsu and Wotamo Ame.
His albums are available on iTunes, Spotify, Deezer and other streaming platforms.
