The master of ceremony (MC) for the event, Kwasi Ernest, the  Greater Accra chairman of MUSIGA, also contributed significantly toward  the progress of the album launch.<br \/>\nSome of the artistes who graced the occasion were Cindy Thompson, Hannah Marfo, Philipa Baafi and Joe Beecham.<br \/>\nOne artiste whose performance moved the crowd was  DSP Kofi Sarpong. The policeman cum gospel star thrilled the crowd with  his stagecraft and dancing skills with great energy, doing the adowa  dance when he sang his hit song \u2018Nyame Ntonko\u2019.<br \/>\nHis performance was not limited to the stage as he came down to join the crowd who were on their feet dancing the day away.<br \/>\nAnother artiste whose performance wowed the crowd  was Noble Nketia, who performed some of his hit songs including \u2018Yesu Do  Yi\u2019 and \u2018Woyi Madisua Nyina\u2019.<br \/>\nPatricia Appiah, whose album was being launched, also gave a great performance despite her pregnant condition.<br \/>\n30-year-old Patricia Appiah, a seamstress who hails  from Obo Kwahu in the Eastern Region, is married to Emmanuel Appiah,  with whom she has two children namely Catherine and Emmanuel Jr.<br \/>\nIn an interview after the launch, she told <strong><em>BEATWAVES<\/em><\/strong> that she was grateful to God for helping her finally hit the limelight with her maiden album.<br \/>\n\u201cThis wonderful launch has completely compensated  for all my years of toil and disappointment prior to the release of this  album.\u201d<br \/>\nHer maiden album, \u2018Odo Ben Ni\u2019, is an 11-track album with good songs which are uplifting and enjoyable.<br \/>\n\u2018Odo Ben Ni\u2019 is a beautiful mid-tempo highlife piece with well arranged instrumentation to meet the demand of gospel music fans.<br \/>\nHer powerful voice on this song was replicated when she performed the same song at the launching ceremony.<br \/>\nAnother great song which has a rather subtle but  enjoyable percussion is \u2018Saa Na Otie\u2019. This song uses a fusion of jama  and highlife beats as the playing of the conga and other drums are  neatly interlaced with rhythms from the guitar.<br \/>\n\u2018Yeyi Wa Ye\u2019, another song on the album, is a  popular worship song sang in Pentecostal Churches but Patricia treats it  differently as she adds her style by garnishing the lyrics with a bit  of her own inspirational words amidst RnB beats.<br \/>\nOther equally great songs on the album produced by  her husband Emmanuel Appiah and programmed at Wavbox Studios are \u2018Titi  Trenee\u2019, \u2018Nipa Afamu Die\u2019, \u2018Me Hwihwe Nyame\u2019, \u2018Eye Woa\u2019, \u2018Saa Na Mikra  Kondowo\u2019, \u2018The Angel\u2019, \u2018Saa Na Otie\u2019 remix and a praise medley.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The auditorium of the Church of Pentecost Prayer Camp at Ablekuma was last Sunday set ablaze with cheers and excitement as the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of the nation&#8217;s gospel stars gave outstanding performances to grace the launching ceremony of new entrant Patricia Appiah&#8217;s maiden album, \u2018Odo Ben Ni\u2019.
