Empress Gifty releases ravishing video for ‘Awiey3 Pa’
Empress Gifty
Multiple award-winning Ghanaian gospel musician, Empress Gifty has released a ravishing video for his new song titled Awiey3 Pa.
The video directed and shot by renowned director, Skyweb tells the story of a talented young lady who faced challenges growing up.
Gifted with an awe-inspiring voice, she never had the support of her family to exhibit the gift.
Not perturbed by this, on an errand in the market one day, she met a Man of God preaching and decided to join and sing for him.
Unknowing to this young lady, her mother who couldn’t wait any longer at home stormed the market to humiliate her and later sacked her from the house.
Thankfully, this young gifted lady met her destiny changer at the same place she was humiliated. She was signed and taken to the studio by the destiny changer and this young lady became a huge gospel music star in the future.
Interestingly her mother and a friend who conspired to sack her ended up regretting their action after watching her on television.
Awiey3 Pa is premised on Jeremiah 29:11 which says “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
The song which is Empress Gifty’s first single for the year, is off her album expected to be released before the end of the year.
Empress Gifty has earlier revealed that the song which was written by her colleague, Ewura Abena was inspired by Jeremiah 29:11 which says “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

The fourth edition of the fast-rising fashion and cultural event, the Slit and Kaba Festival, is set to take place on May 1 at the Legon City Mall in Accra.
Organised by Roots Africa, the festival aims to promote Ghanaian culture through the traditional Kaba and Slit outfit, known for its vibrant African prints and unique designs.
Speaking to The Spectator Agoro ahead of this year’s edition, dubbed “Old School Kaba and Slit Meets Batakari,” the Founder of Roots Africa, Mrs. Deborah Kabutey-Djisah, popularly known as Manye Korngo, said the event has gained significant popularity over the years and promised an even bigger experience this time around.
“The intention is to revive old-school fashion while celebrating our revered Fugu, also known as Batakari, which has gained massive exposure in recent times,” she stated.
“It is also an opportunity to showcase our culture and demonstrate to young people how fashion has evolved over the years,” she added.
She further called on vendors to come on board to display their products and services, noting that thousands of patrons are expected to attend the event.
“Don’t miss the chance to have your brand featured on our flyers, make incredible sales, and be part of an unforgettable experience,” she urged.
According to her, the previous edition was a great success, attracting patrons from across the country. Due to the growing interest, a larger venue had to be secured to accommodate the anticipated crowd.
“I’m expecting ten times more people than we had at last year’s festival,” she added.
