In an era where any teenager with ProTools can compose a beat or song on his laptop, it is altogether rare to encounter a wholly live, sample-free, recorded album such as Daniel Ayisi’s album. The album is fully loaded with good instrumentation, men you should hear the trumpets blown in the beginning of a song on his album titled, “Oman Ghana”.
The album’s theme might be puzzling to fans, but they need buy a copy of the album or visit the following websites – to have a feel his album, “Nyame Nim”.
The most loved song on the album, “Oman Ghana” highlights on the nation - Ghana and how we the citizens can make it a better place for all of us. He tags the song as a political song but I say it should be a national inspiring song and his timing is good for the upcoming December elections in Ghana.
Nana Akufo-Addo, Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom, John E. Atta Mills, Dan Lartey or Dr Edward Mahama hasn’t won the presidency yet, but am sure when they hear “Oman Ghana” which is already having an impact on people they would love the song and add it to their campaign.
Gospel man, Daniel Ayisi has just hit the music scene with bold collection of songs that are fit for all ages.
I have personally listened to the full album and I know what he means which will definitely make it one the most memorable gospel albums of 2008.
Daniel Ayisi is currently putting final touches to his video that he will add to his promotional materials.
Other stand-out tracks on “Nyame Nim” include title track, “Nyame Nim”, “Awurade Na Yebe Som”, “Asem Adooso”, “Oyinkye” and more.
The album’s inspiration is indeed a global one. Business deals are welcomed by callin 233 24 415 6320, 233 27 160 9892 and 233 20 698 1139. Read his full interview below.
