Even If I’m the Child of a Juju Priest, God Is Still the One Who Gave Me to My Parents - Enam

Ghanaian Afro-spiritual musician, singer and songwriter Angela Enam Keteku popularly known as Enam has distinctive Afro-spiritual sound, which blends traditional African rhythms, Ewe cultural influences and contemporary music.

The musician has built her artistic identity around African spirituality and cultural preservation, describing herself as a “Goddess with the gifts of songs” on her Instagram profile.

Her musical journey is deeply connected to her childhood experiences. Enam has previously revealed that her love for music developed while growing up around her great-grandmothers, who were traditional priestesses at the Yeweh Shrine in the Volta Region.

According to Enam, even if she were born to a traditional priest or someone associated with juju, it would not change the fact that God gave her to her parents.

“Even if I am the child of a juju man, it is the same God that gave me to my parents,” she stated this during an interview with WatsUp TV, at her album listening session for Hadzivodushi at Volta Bistro.

Enam’s statement highlights her perspective on spirituality and challenges the tendency to judge people based on their family backgrounds or religious associations.

Enam also has an unusual personal story. She was born with 12 toes, a condition that reportedly led some people in her community to label her a witch during her childhood. She later underwent surgery to remove the extra toes.

The experience influenced her outlook on life and contributed to the story behind her debut six-track EP, Wuieve, which means twelve in the Ewe language.

Over the years, she has continued to use her music to promote indigenous African traditions and encourage appreciation for Ghanaian cultural identity.

Her musical catalogue includes songs such as Libation, Afa and Alomo, featuring Akwaboah.

Enam recently added another project to her catalogue with the release of her song NKU, continuing her journey in the Afro-spiritual music space.
