The ‘Blood Crew’ Storms Kumasi
Sensational gospel music group, ‘The blood crew’, has once again proven their mettle as one of the best gospel groups in Ghana.
The Blood crew hosted their annual musical concert, ‘The Blood Effect’, at Family Chapel Auditorium on Sunday, May 7, 2023 in Kumasi.
This year’s theme was titled ‘Beauty For Ashes’ from the scripture Isaiah 61:3.
The group, which has been in the system for about seven years now, has never stopped impacting lives with great gospel music and performances.
Gospel ministers who were present at the event included Kofi Owusu Peprah, Adwoa Antwiwaa, Minister Sylaz Minkz and Minister Daniel Owusu Ansah.
The Blood Crew gave powerful ministrations and performed over 30 songs, which included medleys and some of their own composed songs, such as ‘like Change My Heart’.
The Blood crew paid a tribute to their sound engineer and producer, Agya Yaw, who passed away in April.
Gospel Minister Onasis Kontor and The Peculiar People also gave their best performances during the programme, with lots of renditions of the old Ghanaian songs.
