Ras Kuuku’s ‘Me Mpaebo’ is a nice gospel song – Celestine Donkor
Ghanaian Gospel artiste Celestine Donkor has waded in the conversation about the Telecel Ghana Music Awards’ rule that bars non-gospel artistes from being nominated in its gospel music categories.
Celestine explained in an interview with Doreen Avio on Daybreak Hitz what constitutes a gospel song.
“What makes a gospel song, according to me, what I understand is when the content is sort of affiliated to God or, you know, connected to something about God or something that, you know, using godliness to encourage people or to inspire people or to communicate some sort of advice. And that is what we in quotes do here as gospel,” she said.
Asked if Ras Kuuku’s song ‘Me Mpaebo’ is a gospel song, she replied “It’s a gospel song. Yes, it’s a gospel song. It’s a very nice song.”
Celestine cited Kwabena Kwabena’s song ‘Bue Kwan Mame’ as an example, saying that although it may not be traditionally considered a gospel song.
“For instance Kwabena Kwabena’s ‘Bue kwan Mame’, I found myself singing that song a couple of times because at a point where you need God to open the doors for you, the song will make sense to you, you understand,” she further noted.
In other news, Celestine Donkor has released her new single ‘Amazing’ and is gearing up for the 11th edition of Celestial Praiz, scheduled for March 9th at 3:55 pm.
The event will feature an impressive lineup of gospel artistes from Ghana, Nigeria, and South Africa, including Minister GUC, Zaza, Rev Dadson, and Kwaku Teye at the Victory Bible church. Tickets are available for 60 GHS (regular), 150 GHS (VIP), 200 GHS (family of 5), and 110 GHS (couple).
