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

Watch “Fear No Evil” now:
In today’s digital age, gossip has become more widespread than ever, infiltrating every aspect of our lives, from children to adults alike.
The rise of mobile phones and social media has fueled a culture of rumor and slander that can leave deep wounds. Drawing on a rich West African cultural background, the new song, “Okro Mouth” by Joseph And The Kohanim offers a thought-provoking take on this issue while delivering infectious rhythms and melodies that will keep you moving.
In old West African traditions and slang, “Okro Mouth” describes someone
whose words are like okra’s slippery, sticky nature—spreading stories that cause division, shame, and even isolation.
In his latest release, Dr. Joseph Opare, singer/songwriter and visionary behind the band, uses this powerful metaphor to send a timeless message about the dangers of gossip. The track is an urgent yet playful reminder to avoid being busybodies, slanderers, and talebearers who leave destruction in their wake.
Rooted in Biblical teachings, which are an essential part of West African culture,
“Okro Mouth” is a modern-day admonition. But while the message may be serious, the delivery is pure joy.
The song seamlessly blends Afrobeats, Salsa, R&B, and Gospel, creating a sound that is as soulful as it is danceable. Opare’s rich, expressive lead vocals intertwine with silky R&B harmonies,
backed by a rhythm section that bursts with energy. The track turns unexpectedly with a dynamic rap verse by Bamidupe Joseph, adding a fresh
layer to the already eclectic sound.
Okro Mouth” is more than just a song—it’s an experience. The playful lyrics will
make you smile, the groove will have you dancing, and the message might even
prompt introspection.
Whether you’re an Afrobeats enthusiast or simply looking for music that lifts your spirit, “Okro Mouth” is a must-add to your playlist.
Joseph And The Kohanim have again shown their ability to merge profound
messages with irresistible rhythms. “Okro Mouth” is a song that entertains,
inspires, and most importantly, reminds us of the power of our words.
