In the heart of Ghana, a new musical venture was born. Gospel singer Noble Nketsiah and the cultural hallmark, Manklalo Cultural Group announced that they are set to record a groundbreaking album , a fusion of gospel worship and praise fused with traditional Ghanaian cultural music.
The inspiration struck after a vibrant “Rhythms of Praise” concert (a lively gathering of gospel and cultural arts) in which Noble Nketsiah took the lead vocals, and Manklalo Cultural Group delivered their rich instrumentation and chants of inheritance and heritage. The audience that night was electric: hands raised, feet movement, voices joining in unison as the Ghanaian traditional instruments intertwined with powerful gospel lyrics and harmony. The excitement of the crowd was awesome, spontaneous shouts of “Amen!”
Following that event, the two acts decided to take their collaboration further: they will enter the studio together, producing an album that draws on the deep tradition of Ghana’s folk instruments paired with gospel worship led by Noble’s baritone voice. The Manklalo singers will provide layered harmonies, call-and-response chants and traditional backing vocals, while the group’s dancers and percussionists bring in the cultural rhythms and movements into the recording sessions.
Noble takes the lead on the album’s songs, the primary vocals, the message of hope, praise and renewal, while Manklalo’s singers stand behind him, weaving in harmonies rooted in Ghana’s cultural musical heritage. In essence: gospel song meets indigenous rhythm. The songs will carry titles yet to be announced, but fans are already anticipating the blend being his signature spiritual lyrics and melody married to the vibrant beat of Ghanaian cultural sound.
This venture is described by both parties as historic. Lovers of gospel music, lovers of Ghanaian culture, indeed all who enjoy rich musical fusions, are being told to watch out for this album. It promises something new, a bridge across genres, a celebration of faith and heritage.
Noble Nketsiah and Manklalo Cultural Group will produce an album that blends gospel worship with Ghana’s traditional cultural music. The excitement from their joint live performance sparked the idea, and the recording is underway. Fans should stay tuned, this one will make history.
