Patience Nyarko
Most often, gospel music albums are launched in churches and sometimes at an event where specific people are specially invited to attend, but Patience Nyarko over the weekend took a twist to launch her second album dubbed ‘Wafom Kwan’ on the streets of Accra.
The ‘Wafom Kwan’ album, which has already gotten the musician two nominations; ‘Best Gospel Song and Best Gospel Artist’ in this year’s Ghana Music Awards, comes after a successful release of her debut album ‘Me Kasa Ama Ewuradi’, which shot her to fame in 2013.
Patience Nyarko’s ‘Wafom Kwan’ album has seven heartwarming songs which include the popular ‘Wafom Kwan’, ‘Anibre Mpeaye’, ‘Wodada’ re-mix, ‘Ebenezer’ and many others.
Narrating her motivations behind the distinctive launch, Patience said “My fans are the people who listen and enjoy my songs, so there was the need to meet, perform and interact with them”.
The street launch started from Mallam junction, through to Kasoa, then made a turn to the streets of Odorkor to Kaneshie market, then later passed through the busy market centers in Accra and finally ended at Madina Market.
At every point of the float, the musician got off the truck and performed to the crowd, mostly traders that came out to witness the launch, whereas some others did the selling of the VCD’s. The float was attended by management of the musician, some church members and her fans.
Patience Nyarko, who is however, hopeful of winning all her nominations at this year’s Ghana Music Awards, also used the occasion to advice the youth against election violence.
