About YESU YA TASHI, YANA DA RAI.
"Yesu Ya Tashi, Yana Da Rai" is a vibrant Hausa Easter anthem that immediately lifts the spirit of any congregation. The title translates to "Jesus is risen, He is alive," and the entire piece radiates the profound joy of the Resurrection. When the choir strikes up this melody on Easter Sunday, it transforms the church into a space of pure celebration, announcing that death has been conquered once and for all.
The verses walk us through the awe of the Easter story—from the empty tomb and the baffled guards to the ultimate gift of life given to believers. As the choir moves into the chorus, the repetition of "Yesu ya tashi" builds a powerful, rhythmic momentum. It is a song that invites everyone to rejoice, reminding us that because He lives, we are given the power to become children of God. Singing this piece is a triumphant declaration of faith that resonates deeply during the Easter season.
