Nana Ama Sarfowaa launches ‘Tanto’ this Saturday

She might not be popular like Gifty Osei, Christiana Love or Ohemaa Mercy but new gospel artiste Nana Ama Sarfowaa is definitely one of the gospel artiste to watch out for.

With her album Tanto a Spanish word meaning So Much, Nana Ama already knows she will make it with the positive response she is receiving from public upon it release three month ago.

The song from the nine-track album has been widely played, mainly for its meaningful lyrics, deft arrangements and crisp playing by a selection of experienced instrumentalists like Francis Osei (drums), Osei Tutu (trumpet) and Herbert Crassie (Keyboards)

Although Tanto has other tracks like Nsuro, Wo Tumi, Mahoaden, Eye Me Fe and Praise, Wagye Me also on the album is the musicians favourite track.

According to the gospel musician, her presence in the gospel scene will cause a stir since all her songs on the album are killer. “Anybody who gets a copy of my album will not regret it. No gospel artiste has ever done gospel Salsa and that makes me different from the other gospel artistes.”

Nana Ama who will be launching her on Saturday, March 16 said she is willing to take music very far because it was a gift given to her by God.

She explained that, she was out four years ago with her maiden album Wagye Me which didn’t so well but after getting everything right she feels this is the best time to bring out her second album Tanto.

The video of Tanto was shot at South African some few weeks the song was released. Married with three kids, Nana Ama who said she has been singing for the past 19 years admitted that the gospel music is not that easy but she is very confident that her album will be loved by all.

She says she does Gospel Salsa, Reggae and different gender of music and that makes her different from the other gospel musicians.

“We have great gospel musicians in Ghana but my style is very different. I eat music, sleep with music and everything I do is music, so I know I can survive the test of time no matter what.” Nana Ama said.

She added that her album launch which take place on March 16 will see great gospel musicians performing that day and encourages every to be there.

Nana Ama said she is grateful to everybody who helped her in making this album a success.
