Missing Castro wins award at 2015 VGMAs
Hiplife artiste Castro, born Theophilus Tagoe, may
be missing but his songs are still alive and on
the lips of many.
This fact was given credence when his song,
‘Seihor’ was adjudged the Hiplife Song of the
Year at this year’s Vodafone Ghana Music
Awards.
Castro, who went missing with a female companion,
Janet Bandu, while jet skiing in the waters of Ada
Sunday, July 6, 2014, was an integral part of the
awards night at the Accra International Conference
Centre (AICC) yesterday.
His name was virtually mentioned several times on
the night either because of his song or a song he
featured on.
Organisers of the awards, Charterhouse, even did a
special documentary for him. There was also a
special feature – Castro: A talent now latent
– dedicated to him in the official magazine for
this year’s music awards.
Castro and Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan were
at the Peace Holiday Resort, a beach resort in
Ada, together with some friends, for recreation
when he went missing.
As his family and friends still cling on to hope
that the musician is still alive, the police say
they are still searching for the hiplife artiste.
On the night, he beat off competition from
Guru’s ‘Pooley’, VVIP’s ‘Selfie’,
D-Black’s ‘Personal Person’, Samini’s
‘Iskoki’, Sarkodie’s ‘Adonai (Remix)’ to
win the award.
Interestingly, Castro sang on the three -
‘Seihor’, ‘Personal Person’ and ‘Adonai
(Remix)’ - of the six nominated songs for the
Hiplife Song of the Year.
Castro’s award was received by rapper D-Black,
who featured on the song, and his brother, who
assured Ghanaians that his brother is alive and
will be home soon.
Sarkodie’s hit song, ‘Adonai (Remix)’ which
Castro featured on was adjudged Best Collaboration
of the Year and Popular Song of the Year.
