The widespread impact of “Awamaridi” is a clear reflection of Nathaniel Bassey’s influential status in the gospel world. Released under his own label, Nathaniel Bassey Music Productions, the track has resonated with listeners far beyond Nigeria, proving that genuine worship transcends cultural and linguistic barriers. The song’s power lies not just in its musicality but in its profound message, which has made it a favorite in churches and homes alike. Its success further cements Bassey’s role as a visionary artist who, through powerful collaborations, is able to produce music that is both culturally significant and globally impactful.
“Awamaridi,” a standout track from Nathaniel Bassey’s extensive 15-track album, “Jesus: The Resurrection & the Life,” is a testament to the artist’s collaborative spirit. This powerful worship anthem, released on December 2, 2018, features a duet with renowned Nigerian gospel musician Tope Alabi and the anointed vocals of Tomi Favored. The song’s title, a Yoruba word meaning “The Unsearchable One,” beautifully encapsulates the profound mystery and greatness of God. The song is a rich fusion of styles, from the deeply traditional Yoruba praise expressed by Alabi to the contemporary gospel and worship delivery of Favored and Bassey, creating an authentic and moving musical experience within the Christian & Gospel genre.
