Adepa Zela praises God with new song after troubling times
Every musician has what motivates him or her to compose a song, whereas some put together stories of their close relations and what they have observed generally, while others use their life experiences.
It is in view of this that the gospel music diva, Adepa Zela known in private life as Flora Ama Korantemaa Kumi, has reflected on some troubling moment in her life to compose a song in appreciation of God’s loving mercies.
The song dubbed, Same God released under Trinity Gold Entertainment was produced by Mix Master Garzy.
Speaking to The Spectator, Adepa Zela said, she was down and going through hell, but God turned her situation around.
Adepa Zela said, for this reason, she decided to write this song to reflect her situation and praise God for saving her.
“The same God who delivered me from my challenging times can do same for every believer,” she said.
She further said that her dream was to release songs of different genres of Gospel to Ghanaians and the world at large.
Adepa Zela does not intend to limit gospel music to only one genre but multiple genres to reach every heart.
she is the first ever gospel performer to win the MTN Hitmaker season nine (9) last year.
The sensational female singer who was known throughout the hitmaker competition as Adepa (Lady with the mask), has now re-branded to Adepa Zela.

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.
