Ghana’s Afropop musician “Stonebwoy” to perform in Guyana

Ghanaian Afropop, reggae, and dancehall music superstar Livingstone Etse Satekla, better known by his stage name “Stonebwoy”, is set to perform in a grand Emancipation Day concert at the National Park in Guyana on August 1.

The initiative is being organised by the African Cultural & Development Association (ACDA), and the concert will also feature Jamaica’s Morgan Heritage, a Grammy Award-winning Jamaican reggae band, alongside local performers.
Featured artiste Stonebwoy has established a name for himself in the music industry, and has since secured himself award wins in the category of Best International Act from BET, and in the category of Artist of the Year in the Ghana Music Awards, both having occurred in 2015. With these accomplishments, Stonebwoy has used his talent to become a modern-day activist and philanthropist who is dedicated to the betterment of his people.
ACDA spokesperson Aisha Haynes has told Guyana Times that a unique highlight of local talents can be expected at this year’s celebrations. Pre-emancipation activities would include the African Street theatre on Main Street Avenue and an Emancipation Spiritual Tribute for the 1823 Bicentennial Martyrs on July 31.
On August 1, there will be the Chef Cook-Up Competition hosted by Ansa McAl Trading Limited at the National Park. And patrons can expect to hear poetry and see live acrobatics and other performances, such as folklore skits. Moreover, there will be a best-dressed competition.
