Nana Kobo, Ayisha Mordi surprise Yaw Sarpong at “Aseda” video premiere
It was a moment of astonishment at the unveiling of a new music video of gospel music legend, Yaw Sarpong, with over four decades of experience in the industry.
The event meant for the premiering of the new music video at Think Media Expert at Kaneshie in Accra on Thursday, April 15, turned into a platform to pull surprises on Yaw Sarpong and his team.
At a point in the premiering, an SUV was driven in as a gift from his Executive Producer, Nana Kobo.
The car gift was timely, because after the team led by Yaw Sarpong was involved in an accident on their way to Kumasi,October last year, in their vehicle which damaged beyond repairs, they have resorted to commercial transport for all their engagements.
As if that was not enough, broadcaster Frank Kwabena Owusu announced that philantropist and Artiste Manager, Ayisha Modi who is currently out of the country had made available plots of land at Amasaman to be presented to Yaw Sarpong and Tiwaa.
Surprised at the gesture Yaw Sargong and Maame Tiwaa expressed their profound gratitude to Nana Kobo and Ayisha Modi for such support.
The music video of the song which featured gospel heavyweight, Kweku Gyasi, was directed by Kenn Ayiah.

Von Sinu releases debut single ‘Thank You’
Von Sinu, an upcoming gospel musician, has released her debut single titled ‘Thank You’ which is gaining popularity on the airwaves and streaming platforms.
‘Thank you’ seeks to appreciate God for his goodness and faithfulness in her life.
In an interview with The Spectator in Accra, Von, who is also a fashion designer said “looking back at my life and what God has told me about myself, I was grateful.
She said she had to record it and later sent it to a friend who has been very instrumental in her being a gospel singer.
She said though there were other songs written and recorded, she thought it was prudent to release ‘Thank you’ as the Bible urges believers to give thanks in Psalm 92:1-2: “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name”
The song is available on all digital platforms including Youtube, Spotify, Apple music Deezer and Tidal.
