Joseph And The Kohanim Preaches The Gospel In “With Jehovah” Using Amapiano Fusion
Today marks a significant milestone in the musical journey of Joseph
And The Kohanim as Dr. Joseph Opare humbly presents his latest single, “With Yehowah.”
Infused with the vibrant beats of Afrobeat and the infectious rhythm of Amapiano, this track promises to captivate audiences with its uplifting message of resilience and faith.
Who is Yehowah?
Yehowah is an ancient Akan name for the almighty God. The Akan people can be found in Ghana, Ivory Coast, and Togo. Many still use this name in song and prayer to mean the Almighty God.
Dr. Joseph believes that although Europeans have been saying that the name of the God of Israel is Jehovah or Yahweh, there are theological, linguistic, and historical reasons why this would be the incorrect phonetic rendition of what some theologians call the tetragrammaton (YHWH).
He believes that the Akan name Yehowah is more ancient and therefore more accurate since we don’t say Hallelu-“Jah” we say Hallelu- “Yah” which means celebrate “Yah.”
The old gospel chorus “Kum Ba Yah,” sung by ancients brought from West
Africa, has the meaning come by, or come closer Yah.
“In the face of life’s struggles, ‘With Yehowah’ is a testament to the strength that comes from knowing that God is with you every step of the way,” says Joseph, the lead vocalist and producer of the group. “The song celebrates overcoming challenges, and finding the courage to hold our heads high. Let’s be free from shame and doubt, we are supported by the divine presence of Yehowah.”
The chorus, delivered through the unique sound of a vocoder, echoes a powerful affirmation in pidgin English: “I go conquer and get stronger, with Yehowah I go hold my head high.”
Translated into regular English it simply says, I will conquer and get
stronger, with Yehowah, I will hold my head high. This catchy and inspirational
refrain is sure to resonate with listeners of diverse backgrounds, as it blends
modern musical elements with a timeless spiritual message.
The Afrobeat and Amapiano fusion in “With Yehowah” creates an irresistibly
danceable groove that invites listeners to move and celebrate the triumphs of life.
The rich instrumentation, infectious melodies, and poignant lyrics make this single a standout addition to Joseph And The Kohanim’s growing discography.
Joseph And The Kohanim have consistently showcased their ability to blend various musical genres while delivering powerful messages that resonate with audiences worldwide.
“With Yehowah” is a testament to their commitment to creating music
that uplifts the spirit and encourages listeners to persevere through life’s challenges.
The single is available on all major music download and streaming platforms. Fans

Pioneering the Afro-gospel music genre in Ghana, Joseph Matthew is breaking down barriers and challenging stereotypes in the music industry.
In a recent interview with Metro TV, the talented artist boldly shared his thoughts on the rigid expectations placed on Gospel musicians in terms of dressing and style. He argued that it’s limiting and demeaning to condemn artists who don’t fit the traditional mold, simply because of their appearance or sound.
Using his own experience as an example, Joseph Matthew revealed that some gatekeepers in the industry have rejected him due to his dreadlocks and unconventional sound, which deviates from the typical Gospel music norm. He emphasized that what truly matters is the message of hope and redemption, not the messenger’s appearance or style.
Joseph Matthew’s courageous stance is a breath of fresh air in an industry often bound by tradition. He’s paving the way for a new generation of Gospel artistes to express themselves authentically, without fear of judgment or rejection.
Joseph Matthew also hinted in the interview that he has a virtual concert and an album up to come.

In the meantime, be sure to check out his latest single, “Promise Land,” a soul-stirring anthem that embodies the essence of Afro-gospel music.

As a rising star in the Afrobeats scene, Big Rain is spreading love and positivity through his music, leaving a lasting impact on fans and critics alike.
Christened Paul Raymond Osemudiame, Big Rain was born on June 12th, 1995, in the vibrant city of Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria. His early life was filled with the sweet sounds of jazz, reggae, and gospel music, courtesy of his music-loving parents, who encouraged his passion for music. He spent hours listening to the likes of Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, and Michael Jackson, studying their craft and learning from their legacies.
Big Rain’s musical journey began in the church choir, where he honed his vocal skills and developed a deep appreciation for the power of music to uplift and inspire. As he grew older, he began writing his own songs, pouring his heart and soul into every lyric and melody.
After exploring the world of business, Big Rain returned to his first love, music, in 2023, and the result was nothing short of magic. His debut project, “Lifestyle,” released on November 12th, 2023, was a resounding success, garnering impressive numbers and earning him a loyal fan base. The song’s catchy beat and inspiring lyrics resonated with listeners from all walks of life, cementing Big Rain’s place as a rising star in the Afrobeats scene.
Since then, he has released five more songs, each one a testament to his creative genius and dedication to his craft. His music is a fusion of Afrobeats, R&B, and pop, with lyrics that speak to the human experience, love, and self-empowerment. With his unique sound and style, Big Rain is poised to take the music industry by storm.
Inspired by the legendary likes of Fela Kuti, Michael Jackson, and Bob Marley, Ray Jay believes that music should be a powerful tool for spreading love and goodwill. With this in mind, he has pioneered a sub-genre under Afrobeats, dubbed “Afrolove,” aimed at sharing love and positivity through his music. His mission is to use his platform to inspire and uplift others, promoting unity and togetherness through the universal language of music.
As we eagerly await his next release, “Sere,” dropping on May 18th, 2024, we can’t help but feel excited for what the future holds for this talented artiste.
