A prominent figure in modern Afropop, recognized for his deep lyrics and outstanding accomplishments in the international music arena, the Ghanaian performer stole the show on the Boomyard Stage of the festival, enthralling the crowd with his upbeat show and universal appeal. Two months ago, on Friday, December 22, he sold out the BHIM Festival at the Accra Sports Stadium in Ghana, solidifying his place as one of Africa’s most exciting musical exports. This performance was his first foreign appearance.
Stonebwoy gave his audience an amazing performance of his hit songs throughout his set, skillfully fusing upbeat beats with moving narrative. From soul-stirring hymns to chart-topping hits like “Gidigba,” “Run Go,” “People Dey,” “Non-Stop,” and “Apotheke.”
He also sang a powerful rendition of “Buffalo Soldier” with his vocals as a unique homage to the late great Bob Marley. That evening, Stonebwoy’s magnetic presence dominated the stage and created an atmosphere that echoed through the entire room.
Stonebwoy’s journey is far from ended, as seen by his future global tour schedule, which includes performances at the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival in California from June 21 to 23 and the Rolling Cocoa Festival in Washington, DC, on March 9. The Island Rock Concert on February 23 later this month and the Austin Reggae Festival in Texas on April 19 are two noteworthy dates that promise audiences an amazing time full of upbeat vibes and contagious rhythms.
According to reports, Stonebwoy is working on his much awaited new album. This album will be his sixth studio release overall, and his second since signing Universal Music Group / DefJam Records in 2022, however specifics are still unknown. Stonebwoy’s 2023 release of his previous album, “5th Dimension,” was expected to mark a significant turning point in his storied career and further cemented his position as a global music icon. Renowned musicians including Angelique Kidjo, Stormzy, Davido, Shaggy, and others contributed guest rhymes to “5th Dimension.”
