Harry Kappen Wows Fans With “Break The Chains” Album Release

0

Harry Kappen, a Dutch musician, makes a strong musical statement with this April 10th release of “Break These Chains,” the second single for his January single release on MTS Records called ‘Four.’

This fiery rock anthem identifies the epidemic of misinformation plaguing our society today with new music instead of forgetting. Kappen’s raw guitar energy, along with call-to-arms lyrics that demand we reject fake news and societal exploitation, represent a haunting sound.

The multi-instrumentalist and music therapist exhibits classic protest rock energy while confronting modern challenges, with his passionate lyrics punctuated by powerful rhythms and scorching guitar work.

Kappen brings his decades of artist and therapist experience to this urgent and relevant call to action. The piece builds from verses that question the deception of the modern age to a cathartic chorus that calls for a change, which is drenched with muddy analogue crackle in an unforgiving digital era.

The word careful comes to mind listening to Kappen’s lyrics because he balances confrontation in a song that gives hope, as most clearly demonstrated in the bridge of the song where he plaintively cries, “Where are the angels?” only to explode into the defiant chorus.

The single continues his legacy of meaningful rock that takes genres and combines them to deliver thoughtful work, after his earlier work that has been compared to a list of artists that includes Bowie to Radiohead. Out everywhere now, this is protest music for the 21st century – music that makes your body pump your fist and your conscience.

For some, music acts as an escape from the discord of modern society; Kappen offers both a way to make meaningful music while throwing open the doors to spread a message to reclaim truth.

Three Indian Alleged Gold Smugglers Arrested By GoldBod Security Task Force

0

The Ghana GoldBod security task force has arrested three (3) individuals suspected of being involved in gold smuggling in Ghana.

The three (3) suspects, identified as Goutam Katriya, Manash Damani, and Miraj Sarvaych, are believed to be Indian nationals. They are reportedly gold traders who mainly operate within Accra and Kumasi. The trio is believed to be working for a company known as “Unique MM,” allegedly owned by a Ghanaian named Musah Salifu.

The suspects were arrested at a private residence turned gold trading centre around Atinga junction in Kumasi.

The arrest of these three suspects was instigated by an anonymous tip-off from a patriotic nationalist who revealed their illegal dealings to authorities.

The three suspects were arraigned before the Achimota Circuit Court on Monday, April 29, 2025, and consequently remanded in detention for two weeks.

Chief Superintendent Osman Alhassan, Director of Investigations at National Security, revealed during a press briefing that items retrieved from the suspects upon arrest included GHS 1.9 million, 4,500 rupees, 4.363 kilograms of gold, 2 counting machines, a CCTV recorder, and Indian passports.

According to preliminary investigations by National Security, it was revealed that none of the suspects possessed a valid license for trading in gold in Ghana.

National security operatives were unable to obtain any legal documents pertaining to their business operations despite being in business for over a decade.

It was also uncovered that Musah Salifu, the alleged owner of Unique MM, was only acting as a face of the company in business dealings. However, the actual owner of the company was revealed as Goutam Katriya, the anonymous controller of all the dealings of Unique MM.

Chief Superintendent Alhassan issued a severe warning to both Ghanaians and foreign nationals against violating the terms of the Ghana Gold Board Act and other applicable laws controlling gold dealing in the country.

GoldBod has rolled out a new directive, demanding that all foreign nationals engaged in gold dealings cease operations by 30th April 2025.

Failure to comply with these new directives will lead to possible prosecution for violating the Ghana Gold Board Act, 2025 (Act 1140).
