Rebbel Ashes makes history in new song with Pat Thomas – ‘Gye Nyame’
When a rising Afrobeat star joins forces with a living highlife legend, history is made and the sound is unforgettable.
In what is being hailed as one of the most iconic cross-generational collaborations in recent Ghanaian music history, Belgium-based Afrobeat sensation Rebbel Ashes has teamed up with the legendary Pat Thomas for a soul-stirring anthem titled “Gye Nyame.” The much-anticipated track is set for release on May 30, 2025.
For Rebbel Ashes, this moment is more than just music it’s a dream realized.
“Having Legendary Pat Thomas on a song is one thing I will cherish forever,” he shared. “He’s an idol. To go from admiring his work to actually creating music with him it’s truly a blessing.”
Gye Nyame, meaning “Except God” in Twi, is not only a spiritual mantra but also one of the most powerful Adinkra symbols in Ghanaian culture. The song delivers that spiritual energy with a mix of Afrobeat rhythms, smooth highlife melodies, and a message that resonates deeply with believers and music lovers alike.
Produced by the seasoned Ghanaian producer Knii Lant3i, the record fuses vibrant percussion, heartfelt lyrics, and signature vocals from both artists creating a timeless sound that bridges generations.
Rebbel Ashes, known for Afrobeat gems like “Good Morning,” “Activate,” and “Kwansema,” continues to rise as one of the most promising Ghanaian exports in the diaspora music scene. His music blends African roots with contemporary vibes, appealing to both local and global audiences.
Pat Thomas, affectionately dubbed “The Golden Voice of Africa,” is a musical institution. With a career spanning over five decades, he is the voice behind classics like “Odo Adaada Me” and “Sika Ye Mogya.” His contribution to highlife and African music has earned him global recognition and now, his legendary voice graces Gye Nyame in what fans are already calling a generational gift.
The collaboration between Rebbel Ashes and Pat Thomas isn’t just unexpected it’s monumental. It’s a statement about the power of dreams, the importance of honoring musical roots, and the beauty of fusing old and new sounds to create something eternal.
