After much anticipation, award-winning Ghanaian gospel music star Piesie Esther has finally arrived in the United Kingdom.




Prior to her highly anticipated 'Waye Me Yiye' concert in the United Kingdom, the gospel artist and her spouse arrived at Heathrow Airport for the first time.

Piesie Esther went berserk upon their arrival at the airport, performing numerous amusing dance movements and announcing that this was her first trip to the United Kingdom, specifically London.

Also, she sang her current ubiquitous song to encourage all those who aspire to accomplish important things in life, such as traveling to the United Kingdom, that they will succeed just as she has.

The concert was organized by the Pan African Art Society to provide the people of the United Kingdom with yet another night of unforgettable experiences.

The concert will be held at the Dominion Center on London's Broadway Highroad on Saturday, July 29, 202.

In addition to the night's headlining performer, Piesie Esther, a number of internationally acclaimed gospel artists will also take the stage to pray for the concert's attendees.

Other artists scheduled to perform at the concert include South African Lusanda Beeja, Nigerian Eben, and Ghanaian phenomenon Nacee.

Piesie Esther argued that performing in a foreign language significantly expands one's audience, but is not the deciding factor in a song's popularity.

The Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter stated:

It is absolutely true that singing in English allows a song to reach the diaspora and beyond.

However, she continued:

Significant numbers of individuals favor very ancient songs performed in our native language.

Regarding the mega-hit 'Waye Me Yie,' the deaconess stated that many call from abroad.

She elaborated:

"These people always say that what they adore about a song is the spirit behind it; they comprehend the feeling but not the words.

"They would have preferred an English rendition, had we produced one. But every time we've attempted a translation, we've run into problems, specifically with the parts where the song discusses the hardships of living with strangers and such.

She said:

"When we seek for assistance, some individuals begin to scratch their heads. Heavy Akan was used to compose the composition.
