“Rababa” is a call to joyful, unrestrained praise. Its Afro-infused rhythm pulses with energy, inviting listeners to dance, celebrate, and rejoice in the goodness of God. At the same time, the lyrics are deeply rooted in spiritual truth, making the song more than just a praise anthem—it becomes a prophetic sound of freedom, celebration, and divine connection. The word “Rababa” itself is symbolic of exuberance and overflowing gratitude, capturing the heart of EWA’s message: that praise should be loud, sincere, and from the depths of a grateful soul.

EWA describes “Rababa” as more than just music; to her, it is a divine encounter through sound. Each lyric she writes flows from a deep place of devotion and surrender. She approaches her music not simply as an artist but as a vessel—yielded to the Holy Spirit, determined to inspire and bring healing through every note. Her desire is to use her gift to shift atmospheres, lift hearts, and point people back to the Father.

“Everything I write and sing comes from a place of worship,” says EWA. “Rababa is my heart’s praise poured out in sound. It’s a celebration of God’s goodness, and I pray it stirs joy and freedom in every listener.”

Now streaming on all major digital platforms, “Rababa (Exuberant Praise)” marks the beginning of what promises to be a powerful and purpose-driven music ministry. As EWA continues to share her gift with the world, one thing is certain—her sound is here to inspire, impact, and ignite a new wave of exuberant praise.
