Ghanaians are going wild over Sarkodie’s interview with Grammy’s new series, Herbal Tea & White Sofas. Sarkodie makes history as the second Ghanaian to be officially recognized by the Recording Academy.
Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie gives an inside look into his touring life, which includes a laid-back chill zone backstage, and discusses the influence of local cultures on his music as well as his close relationship with his dedicated fan base, the SarkNation, in the newest episode of Herbal Tea & White Sofas.
The announcement was made by Richardine Bartee, a member of the Recording Academy and a GRAMMY U Mentor, on her official Twitter page. She tweeted, “Here’s a short clip from Sarkodie’s upcoming ‘Herbal Tea && White Sofas’ interview with the Recording Academy! The full episode will be available on Wednesday, September 15, to also be published on http://GRAMMY.com after.”

Herbal Tea & White Sofas”, a new series where artists reveal their backstage must-haves. Congratulations, Sarkodie! You have made Ghana proud.
Mostly, though, Sarkodie likes to be in his own zone before the stage lights flare up. “After I’m done with a gig, I really like to drive around and play music in the car,” he tells GRAMMY.com in the newest episode of Herbal Tea & White Sofas. “I drive around in the dark, reflect back on what just happened, play some music, and call it a night.”
