Nhyiraba Adu Minka releases ‘Megyae Mu’ album
Gospel artiste, Nhyiraba Adu Minka, has released ‘Megyae Mu’ (I Surrender), an eight- track album featuring Pastor Adom Chris and Minister Solomon Avoole.
According to him, he had the inspiration during one of his military exercises at Yakima, Wa, in the Upper West Region.
“Megyae Mu humbles the arrogant, helps the helpless, gives hope to the hopeless, gives faith to the faithless and gives health to the hurt as one surrenders wholeheartedly to the all-embracing God through the reggae fashion/mid-tempo instrumentation to the spirit-filled lyrics.”
The tracks include Bɔne biara mayɛ, Asɛm biara maka oo, Nneɛma bi a mereyɛ, Daddy ei megyae mu ma wo, Pepa me mmerato yi and Pepa m’amumuyɔ yi.
Listening to “Megyae Mu” is a rise “above the noise and a refreshing water to a panting deer. The divine inspiration behind it makes it defy languages to speak to every listening soul”.
Nhyiraba Adu Minka, who described himself as an agent of transformation, stated that the world was at its wits end due to COVID-19 and has no other option but to surrender to the Maker for restoration.
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.
