Mr. James Korsah-Brown, a philanthropist, has organized a major health walk to honor the late legendary highlife and Afrobeat musician Ebo Taylor for his immense contribution to Mfantseman.
The annual walk movement geared towards boosting the local economy through the Easter festivities would help promote the untapped tourism potential to the world.
Mr Taylor passed on February 07, 2026, at 90 years old, just a day after the launch of EboFest, a festival created to honor and held at Alliance Française in Accra.
His music career spanned more than six decades, blending traditional Ghanaian rhythms with jazz, funk and global influences.
Through the walk, people from all walks of life troupe Mfantseman to partake as a way of promoting peace, unity and togetherness among the populace.
This year took a different dimension as children, relatives and family of the late Ebo Taylor joined the people to pay respect and appreciate his continued legacies and accomplishments especially in the creative Arts industry.
The procession stretched for miles, winding through the principal streets of Mfantseman from Abandze through to Saltpond streets.
Drummers beat rhythmic patterns that echoed through the town, while groups sang songs of unity in different local dialects.
Children waved miniature flags, and elderly participants walked steadily, supported by younger companions.
Along the route, bystanders paused their daily routines to watch, many eventually joining in.
Shopkeepers stepped out of their stores, some offering water to participants. Motorists slowed down, honking in support.
Korsah Brown remained at the front, occasionally turning back to encourage participants and ensure no one was left behind. His presence was both symbolic and practical, a leader walking with his people, not ahead of them.
At the final gathering point, a large open field, the crowd assembled once more where local leaders and representatives took turns speaking, echoing the same message, peace and unity were the foundation for progress, but it was Korsah Brown’s closing words that lingered longest.
“Let today not be the end,” he said, his voice steady but filled with emotion. “Let it be the beginning of how we choose to live with respect, with understanding, and with unity.”
As the crowd dispersed, there was a sense that something meaningful had taken place something that would not easily fade.
Conversations continued in small groups, new friendships were formed, and for many, hope had been rekindled.
That evening, as the town settled into quiet, the impact of the walk could still be felt. It was not just about the distance covered, but the barriers broken along.
