Ghana-South Africa relations have grown over the years, particularly in the area of trade, but citizens of the two countries are now forming partnerships in other sectors, including music.
The latest partnership is between South Africa's award-winning gospel songstress, Putuma Tiso, and Ghanaian gospel musician Carl Clottey, Founder of Carl Clottey's Ministry.
The collaboration was disclosed during the 10th-anniversary celebration of Calvary Worship and Praises Encounter, held in Accra to celebrate God's goodness in the ministry.
The night witnessed powerful performances from guest artists including Putuma Tiso, Pastor Isiah, Alexandrah, Minister Max Praise and Apostle Abraham Lamptey.
In an interview with Myjoyonline.com, Putuma Tiso praised Minister Clottey as an amazing songwriter and a great worshipper.
She disclosed that the two musicians are going to work together to blend the music of the two countries to promote it beyond the continent.
She said that when the project starts, Minister Clottey will travel to South Africa to join her and that with Carl Clottey, it is even possible for her to compose a Ghanaian song.
Putuma, who started her music career as an Afro-pop singer before she ceded to her divine calling, was one of the lead vocalists for the late South African Jazz musician, Hugh Masekela.
On his part, Minister Clottey thanked Putuma Tiso for honouring his invitation, describing her as a tool God is using for His work in terms of song ministration.
Carl Clottey confirmed the partnership deal, saying, “She'll definitely be back in Ghana and we also sing in South Africa, we will work it out, we have big plans.” He also expressed his excitement for the collaboration and said that the two musicians will help each other to push the gospel to the next level.
