Who Is Your Friend?

Rev. Prince Nyarko has come out with an album titled 'Back To Revival', a 20 track album designed to remind listeners of God's work and help them make a new start and not backslide.

Most of the songs on the album are inspirational worship songs which not only revive the spirits of listeners but also encourage unbelievers to take God as their Saviour and Benefactor.

Born to Mr. Kofi Asante and Abena Kwaaoa from Kwahu Bepong. Prince Nyarko grew up to become a businessman. One day when he was returning from Nigeria on a business trip, he felt sick in the aeroplane and his condition worsened when he got home. Hospitals in the country could not help, he said.

Finally, he was taken to a prayer camp where he was healed through prayers. This experience inspired the composition of the song 'Henna ne Wadamfo Pa'. In this song, Price poses the pertinent questions as to who one's best friend is.

The album opens with 'Henna ne Wadamfo Pa'. To Prince, only God can be the best friend of everyone and help in times of difficulties.

With good vocal backing and sound arrangements in 'Onoara ne Jesus', a praise song, Prince says every believer will get salvation through Jesus Christ. They therefore have to exercise faith in Him.

Another song is 'Yesu Megya No' which stresses that the blood of Jesus has forgiven all sins. Therefore it is for believers to make a fresh start, Prince advised.

Prince rounds off the album with 'Ewurade meda Wase', 'Ampara Se Onyame Ye Ohene', 'Enionyam Nka Ogwama', 'Yesu Mo nea Waye Dooso', 'Nnase Nka Onyame', 'Mene Yesu Betina' among other 10 worships songs.

According to him, getting a producer is very difficult and that because of what they go through in their search for a producer, many musicians give up.

After a long wait, Rev. Nyarko got Bandex Music Production to produce this work for him.

Prince is married to Mrs. Comfort Nyarko and they have two children. He worships at Champions Chapel, Teshie-Nungua Estate, where his song is the overseer.
