It was a dream come true for fans and people who tipped Celestine Donkor to win this year’s edition of National Gospel Music Awards (NGMA) 2019.
The third edition of the Awards which came off in Kumasi at Bantama Church of Pentecost was purely based on the previous year’s works. Many commended the Agbebolo hitmaker and the award as well deserved for her contribution in 2019, if not for anything, for her viral song ‘Agbebolo’.
There were a number of surprises and the not too known and usual faces picking awards in different categories. This include, group of the year going to Towdah Sounds, Female Vocalist of the Year won Perppy, and Songwriter the Year won by Brother Fire.
Aside from winning in the most prestigious category, Celestine also picked up awards in 3 other categories which include, Song of the Year, Collaboration of the Year, and Album of the Year all through Agbebolo.
Secular singer Kofi Kinaata also won an award for Hybrid Song of the Year, a new category introduced into the scheme this year for his viral song ‘Things Fall Apart’.
