Although the
absence of a producer prevented him from releasing his first album,
Akyεdie, on the market in 2014, gospel musician, Bismark Takyi, is determined
to make it this time round, with or without one.
And to show
how determined he is, Bismark released a single, Mama, last Wednesday on the
market.
Mama, which
celebrates mothers, has Bismark calling for the blessings of God on his mother
and all mothers for the good values they imbibe in their children.

A line from
the song reads: From the moment I was born, you filled my life with love…..you
are the tree that I will always lean on, thank you mama, for your love and
care, I will always appreciate, God bless you.
The 3:50
minutes song, rendered mostly in Twi and a few lines in English, has a
mid-tempo rhythm, and although dedicated to mothers, begins with praises for
both parents.
The
melodious tune makes for both a soulful and deeply sobering reflection on
mothers and a soothing sound to the ear. His clear voice, choice of words and
breath- control are all on point.
The degree
holder in Administration from the University of Ghana told Showbiz in a chat on
Thursday that apart from celebrating mothers, he also chose to release Mama
long before the Mothers’ Day celebration in May, so as to bring variety into
mothers’ songs on the market.
“My mother’s
encouragement inspired this song because I can play all the musical instruments
very well now and have been teaching people how to play over the years,
all because my mother encouraged me when I started learning how to play the
guitar and was making mistakes.
“ I think
people should listen to Mama because I tried to portray the African mother very
well,’’ he said.
Bismark, a native
of Brɔfoyeduru in the Ashanti Region and the Operations Manager for X Origin, a
printing company at Adabraka, Accra, is currently working on releasing his
second album, Higher Heights, in August this year. Mama is off the Higher
Heights album.
Other songs
which will feature on the album include Grateful Lord, Ene Me Nyɛ Adwɛn, Alpha
and Omega, Adom, Adoration and Hosanna featuring SP Sarpong.
