The name Bright Amankwah always rings a bell in the Ghana Methodist Church
circuit. He is a Songwriter, Arranger, Composer and Choirmaster. Together
with his group from Ghana United Methodist Church, Bronx, NY, they launched
another breathtaking original compostion with a different sound. The sound
with the compositions making it more fun and worth listening to. The title
of the track is; "Abode Nyina Nyi Nyame Aye"; Let All The People on earth.
praise the Lord. Explaining the brief history behind 'Abode nyina nyi
Nyamea ye'. He said; "I wrote the title song as a thanksgiving song to God
for His divine guidance and protection for the people of Ghana to attain 50
years of Indepence without any civil war although we see it happening all
around us. The song is dedicated to my mother Victoria Amankwah, and all
Ghanaians. The title track is a medley of thanksgiving songs everybody will
enjoy."
This particular CD is different from all the other 3 CDs the group have come
out with. In terms of content,-all the songs are original compositions with
some local spiritual embebed in some tracks. They also re-introduced an old
favorite hit of Bright's father (A.E.Amankwah) 'Maye Kom' but with a little
prelude of his own to add color.

Every track on this album is unique. The CD also features Emmanuel Addo
alias Atta on track 7 singing 'Mebo me sanku daa' a beautiful song I wrote 4
years ago. Mention must also be made of track 2; 'Yeyi W'aye' played in
reggae and sang by Elizabeth Yankah with intermittent
chorus by the Triumphant Choir.
"Lack of space won't allow me to talk about all the songs; you just get a
copy of this great album and you will see and hear for yourself what, Bright
Amankwah, Ekow Orstin, Osei Asibey and Emmanuel Mintah have put together for
your spiritual upliftment and enjoyment", Bright said.
