Samuel Amankwaah sings W’ayɛ M’agya

He has been singing since he was 12 but Samuel Amankwaah has  been let down several times by those who promised to help him come out with an album.

However, the Diploma in Health Information graduate from the Kintampo College of Health kept soldiering on and he is now ready to share with the world his maiden album,  W’ayɛ M’agya. 

 W’ayɛ M’agya will  be launched on Sunday, April 10 at 2pm at  the Liberty Assemblies of God Church, Abuakwa in Kumasi. The eight track album has songs such as Fakyɛ Me, Odomfo Agya, Tekyerema Apem, W’aye M’agya, Edin Jesus, Mansusu Da, a praise and a worship medley.

On Fakyɛ Me, a slow- paced song, Samuel asks for forgiveness from God for all his mistakes. 

W’ayɛ M’agya, a fast-paced song, talks about how God saved him when the people he trusted abandoned him, while Mansusu Da, is about how he never dreamt that God could transform a wretch like him to become the man he is in society today.

Though this is his first album, his vocals, lyrics, coupled with the melodious tunes and mastery of his delivery is evidence that the young gospel musician studied well underground.

Touching on what inspired him to compose the album, Samuel, who currently works as a Health Information Officer at the Mankranso District Health Directorate, told Showbiz on Monday that  “Spreading the gospel through music is my main reason for this album, since evangelism is the core duty of every believer. 

 “Also, I just want the world to know that as humans, we can’t put our trust in our fellow men when faced with difficulties. We should rely on only God”, he stated.

Samuel, a native of Santasi -Atasemanso in the Ashanti Region recorded his songs at Kumasi- based Wapicollo Studio and is managed by Eric Boakye with Gospel General of  Boss FM in Kumasi as his promoter.
