Popular dancehall artiste Stonebwoy broke down into tears when performing a song dedicated to his late mother in his first concert since his latest album lunch.
The Ashaiman-born musician was making his first public appearance since the launch of his latest album ‘Epistles of Mama’ which was dedicated to his mother.
Catherine Satekla died two years after battling illness and the death seems to have had a big impact of the life of the musician, resulting in him penning the album in her memory.
The reggae musician got emotional at the Accra International Conference Center on Friday during his performance of ‘Mama,’.
The song chronicles the special moments and lessons he learnt from his late mother and he broke down in tears which led to a sombre mood in the crowd.
The concert was organised to celebrate the album launch as top stars including Grammy Awards Nominee, Rocky Dawuni, Edem, Samini, King Promise, Kelvyn Boy, Kojo Funds, Joyce Blessing, Kumi Guitar, Obibini, Becca and others also performed at the BHIM Concert – album release edition.
Stonebwoy released the ‘Epistles of Mama’ album on December 12, 2017. The double disk project is made up of 24 songs – 12 Dancehall/Reggae songs and 12 Afrobeat songs.
Sean Paul, Burna Boy, Sarkodie, Efya, King Promise, Edem and Joey B are some of the artistes featured on the album.
“It’s inspired by the good morals, the teachings, the lessons, the anguish and the smiles of life. All the important things in life which are passed on to us by our mothers.” explained Stonebwoy in an interview with Red Bull UK. The album is dedicated to the memory of his mother, Catherine Satekla, who died in 2015.
