Wendy Shay Praises Stevo Atambire, Expresses Desire for Collaboration
Ghanaian Afrobeat and Afropop star Wendy Shay has publicly acknowledged the talent of her colleague Ghanaian musician Stevo Atambire, highlighting his contributions to the Ghanaian music industry. In a recent post on her social media platforms, Wendy Shay described Stevo as one of her favorite artists and expressed her wish to collaborate with him. She wrote:
“Ghana music is really traveling, and the focus is only on the southern part. The artistes from the northern part are really doing great things, and one of my favorites is Stevo Atambire. I would love to do a song with you, Superstar.”
Stevo Atambire, a virtuoso of the kologo, a traditional two-stringed lute from northern Ghana, has been a trailblazer in blending indigenous sounds with contemporary styles. Known for his soulful performances and electrifying energy, Stevo has brought global recognition to kologo music. His recent European tours and collaborations with international artists have expanded the reach of Ghanaian traditional music, showcasing its adaptability and universal appeal.
Wendy Shay, who has consistently championed the global rise of Ghanaian music, is no stranger to collaborations that push boundaries. Her acknowledgment of Stevo Atambire emphasizes the rich diversity in Ghana’s music scene, particularly the often underappreciated contributions from northern artists.
Fans are eagerly anticipating a potential collaboration between these two powerhouses, which would represent a fusion of Wendy’s Afropop dynamism and Stevo’s rich traditional melodies. Such a partnership would not only celebrate the depth of Ghanaian music but also further unify the country’s diverse musical heritage on the global stage.
This budding connection between Wendy Shay and Stevo Atambire could be a game-changer for the industry, bridging the gap between the north and south while elevating Ghanaian music to new heights.
