In this, the musician is able to catch the attention of all rather than being specific which cuts off some attention in a way.&#8221;<br \/>\nYou can read the rest of the interview by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.modernghana.com\/music\/7596\/3\/lets-all-help-daniel-ayisi-build-oman-ghana.html\" target=\"_blank\">visiting the Ghanamusic.com website. <\/a><br \/>\nRelated posts:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/gospelsoundcheck\/2008\/07\/so-what-is-christian-music-any.html\" target=\"_blank\">So What Is Christian Music Anyway? reader poll<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/gospelsoundcheck\/2008\/07\/guest-blogger-pastor-dave-weis.html\" target=\"_blank\">What Is Christian Music, by Dave Weiss<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Surfing around the internet today, I found an interesting article with a gospel artist in Ghana named Daniel Ayisi.
