- Rev. Evan David during his performance
The maiden edition of the El Emeth Worship Experience, which was staged at the Perez Dome in Accra last weekend, was nothing short of spirit-filled encounters as patrons were treated to delightful performances.
Hosted by Rev. Minister and worship leader, Evan David, the event, which saw the launch of his album, was graced by award winning gospel artiste, Celestine Donkor, who took the crowd to heavens with her outstanding renditions.
Others who gave out their best performances on the day were dynamic worship leader, Ps. Emmitt Jim Konadu, gospel minister, Dannie Danso, and Ruby Barnor.
Rev. Evan David gave audience a feel of some of the songs on his album with first and second appearances.
It started with one of fan’s favourites ‘You Change Not’ before introducing ‘Onokwafo,’
‘Sing Praise’ and ‘El Emeth.’
Aside his own songs, the dynamic minister performed a worship medley focusing on songs that portrays God’s faithfulness.
“It was spirit-filled, powerful performance that met the expectations of the audience considering the feedback received,” he told the Spectator Agoro after the event.
He praised his team for the production, set up and delivery on the night, which made it one of the colourful and impactful gospel events to be hosted in Ghana.
He also expressed appreciation to Archbishop Charles Agyinasare, wife, Rev. Vivian Agyinasare, and other individuals and sponsors who ensured a successful event.
“El Emeth has come to stay as we will make it an annual event and ensure it becomes bigger every year,” he stated.
With focus now on promoting his album, he urged gospel lovers to stream the song across all platforms.
Legendary Ghanaian gospel musician and founder of the Asomafo gospel group, Yaw Sarpong, is reporteddead.
The 66 year old gospel artiste is said to have died at the Emena Hospital in Kumasi on January 20, where he was receiving medical treatment.
For sometime now, Yaw Sarpong had been dealing with prolonged health challenges, forcing him to reduce his public appearances and step away periodically from performances.
Yaw Sarpong is widely credited as a pioneer of contemporary Akan gospel music.
Through Yaw Sarpong and Asomafo, he introduced a distinctive sound marked by rich harmonies, disciplined arrangements and lyrics firmly grounded in Christian teachings.
His leadership and musical direction helped shape the identity of gospel music in Ghana for decades.
Some popular tunes by the group includes ‘Wo Haw Ne Sen’, ‘Tie Obiaa’, ‘Aduro Yesu’ and ‘Awurade Kasa’, tracks that continue to feature prominently in churches and Christian gatherings across the country.
Yaw Sarpong’s death comes barely some weeks after the passing of Maame Tiwa, a key pillar of the Yaw Sarpong’s Asomafo music group.
