The Resurrection Effect Concert slated for May 1
A popular Ghanaian gospel singer, Empress Gifty has urged patrons of this year’s ‘The Resurrection Effect Concert’ (TREC)to expect healing and testimonies on the night.
“I am expecting a lot of healing, breakthroughs and testimonies for patrons on the night,” she said.
Empress Gifty made this statement when speaking at the press launch of this year’s edition at EL Lounge on Friday, April 1, 2022.
TREC birthed in 2019, had it’s first edition held on an Easter Monday, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, it was put on hold.
The “Eye Woa” hitmaker disclosed that this year’s edition would be under the Theme; ‘The Essence of the Empty Tomb’ making biblical inference to 1Corinthians 15:3-5.
She added that the much awaited event was slated for May 1, 2022, at the Junction Mall, Nungua at 5pm.
“Even though the date has been shifted to May this year due to management decision, the tenets and pillars on which the TREC was built on Easter, The Ressurection of Christ, still stands,” she noted.
The gospel Empress announced that she had teamed up with Nigeria’s finest, Peterson Okopi, Ghanaian legends Tagoe Sisters, Rev Perry Lokko, Eric Jeshrun, and Jack Alolomi among others to rock worshippers on that day.
TREC is an annual Easter Concert which brings thousands of worshippers together to celebrate the Resurrection Power of Christ and win more souls for His kingdom.

Renowned Ghanaian music heavyweight, Empress Gifty, has dedicated her seven awards won in 2025 to President John Dramani Mahama.
The musician and her management, led by Edem Mensah-Tsotorme, together with her husband, Mr Hopeson Adorye, called on the President at the Jubilee House on Thursday, October 9, 2025.
Empress Gifty, in her remarks, said the visit was to officially congratulate the President, who has been a father figure for her for many years, and also update him on successes chalked in her career.
She thanked the President for his guidance over the years and promised to even do better in the years ahead, as she prepares to release her new song for the year.
The gospel musician also appealed to President Mahama to consider building a large seating auditorium for the creative arts industry.
She appealed to the President for a 10,000 to 30,000 large seating auditorium to improve the fortunes of the creative sector when it comes to events in the country.
This, she said, would go a long way to help the sector flourish and position the country for other international events in the future.
Additionally, she urged the President to ensure the creative sector gets substantial allocation in the next budget.
The President, on his part, thanked Empress Gifty, who he calls his daughter, and the team for the visit, expressing how proud he was of her growth.
Again, he charged her to continuously work even harder for more laurels.
President Mahama pledged his commitment to the growth of the creative arts industry, adding that with regard to a large seating auditorium for the space, he has received some designs and suggestions for a convention centre which are under consideration.
According to him, once suggestions were approved and issues of funding are addressed, this would serve a multipurpose function and host many activities throughout the year.
The President further pledged his unflinching support for the creative arts sector and assured of budgetary support in the years ahead.
