International Music Minister and ‘Praise Bishop’, Empraiz is back with a new single and video. On this traditional gospel song titled “Nanowei”, he teams up with Sensational Bamidele to deliver a melodious masterpiece collaboration.
“Nanowei”, an Ijaw word which roughly translates as “Owner of the universe or God who controls the heaven and the earth”, is a praise song like no other which seeks to refocus all the attention on the one that is most deserving – The Most High God.
Empraiz shares the story behind the song: “My love and passion for Ijaw traditional music (Owigiri) birthed the song in one of our ministrations on stage some 8 years ago and now we decided to release it officially alongside a music video so as to eulogise God our maker with the song. You’ll definitely love this one!”
Produced by the very talented Prince Vibes, this praise song will get your feet dancing and mouth praising to its infectious groove in no time.
