Ceccy Twum's 'Golden Oil' to Anoint People

A lot of people, the afflicted and the weary, will have their afflictions and spiritual burdens taken away upon listening to Ceccy Twum's 'Golden Oil' album.


Ceccy's latest gospel album 'Golden Oil' is full of anointing and blessing as lyrics of the songs appeal to the spirit and soul of the individual. The album consists of six hit tracks. They include 'Se Meka Me Hoa' featured by Nacy, 'Obi Nya Woaye also featured by Moris D'Voice, 'Madanse Nie,' 'Nyame Ye,' 'Se Metwere Woa' and 'Osoro Kasie Bo,' which has been an instant hit after it was released.
   
Listening to the track 'Osoro Kasie Bo', one would be amazed the kind of creativity that went into it. The song is tailored along the style of Obrafuor's 'Kasiebo' which employed the style of a radio presenter presenting a news bulletin. Similarly, Ceccy's 'Osoro Kasiebo' has Ceccy Twum present her 'bulletin from Heaven,' as she also takes a commercial break and returns with the remainder of the verses.
   
On the same album is 'Se Meku Mehoa' which features Nacy. This track talks about the fact that, there is no need for you to kill yourself or commit suicide while God is there for you as a redeemer. 'Obi Nya Woaye' which also features Moris D'Voice talks about the fact that everyone must be content with what God has done or given them.  In 'Madansedie,' Ceccy Twum talks about her testimony and how far God has brought her.
   
“Nyame Ye” track is a praise song telling the Goodness of God for mankind and the “Se Metwere Woa” which also talks about how needful it is to depend on God.
  
In an interview with Flex newspaper, Ceccy revealed she had the title of her album from Zachariah Chapter 4-14. According to her, the album title means uniqueness.

Multiple Grammy Award Winner Donnie McClurkin Endorses No Tribe

United States international gospel artiste Donnie McClurkin has endorsed Ghanaian gospel group, No Tribe in the just ended 'MTN Ghana Stands in Worship Concert' which was held at the Accra Sports Stadium over the weekend.
Donnie McClurkin after his performance confessed that he had wanted to see No Tribe perform on stage and would therefore do so before he left the stadium. Unfortunately for him, the organizers of the program, Imajin Advertising and the program directors changed the program line up and rather ushered the Nigerian international, UcheAgu onto the stage to perform. Donnie McClurkin had to wait for two hours before No Tribe finally mounted the stage to show what it's made of.
As to why Donnie McClurkin has so much interest in No Tribe, this writer cannot tell but it is quite encouraging and refreshing to know that an international artiste in the person of Donnie McClurkin has so much belief and confidence in the group.
No Tribe took absolute control of the stage and took off with their performance on a good start with some worship tunes and then went on to do their hit song “Obi de asedabeba” .One good highlight of No Tribe's performance was that point in time when Donnie McClurkin joined No Tribe on stage. Right from the crowd, Donnie made a triumphant entry onto the stage as he cheered and danced to No Tribe's songs. The whole stadium erupted with so much cheers as No Tribe's leader Nacy, gave Donnie the microphone to also sing along.
A day after the performance, Donnie McClurkin and his management had a closed-door meeting with No Tribe at the Labadi Beach Hotel. No Tribe presented a nice Kente cloth to Donnie and exchanged some CDs with him as well.  Donnie McClurkin was so happy to have spent time with No Tribe before leaving to the airport.
