I feel like it blends with every other colour. You can wear black shoes and a red dress and it\u2019s still popping\u201d Efya who wore a yellow open cleavage dress explained. \u201cI think black is something that fits most of the time. Also, I like it because you know I\u2019m a witch,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The colour black in Ghana is considered a sign of a bad omen or can be associated with mourning the dead.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the semiotics of the colour, Efya revealed that she would not mind wearing black as an alternative colour for her nuptials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, it\u2019s one of the things I\u2019ve always wanted to do but I\u2019m not sure anymore. We\u2019ll see,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Efya, 35, working at night ignited her interest in the colour black and darkness which has became her signature aesthetic and also inspired her Twitter handle, @Efya_Nokturnal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have insomnia, I don\u2019t really sleep at night and it\u2019s been like that for a very long time. So, I figured I might as well make it cool because I\u2019m a very nocturnal being and I come alive at night. Most of the time I like to work late at night because it\u2019s quiet and there\u2019s a different energy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Efya has promised new music soon after her long break from releasing albums and mixtapes. She\u00a0is also the winner of the VGMA Best Female Vocalist of the Year for a record 5 times.<\/p>\n<p>Efya is the daughter of Ghanaian filmmaker, Nana Adwoa Awindor.<\/p>\n<h3><strong\/><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_133\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-133\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-133 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/900119140_132500.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1021\"  \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-133\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><span class=\"peace_black_text_4\">Source: 3news.com<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"clear:both\">&#13;<\/p>\n<tr>&#13;<\/p>\n<td><span class=\"peace_red_text_1\"><\/span>: <span class=\"peace_ash_text_1\">Opinions expressed here are those of the writers and do not reflect those of .  accepts no responsibility legal or otherwise for their accuracy of content.
