Gogo Ombo: Did we have to wait?


Did we have to wait this long for so long? 


Did we have to wait for our greats to pass to the great beyond before we roll out the drums to sing the praises of how they left a mark of their greatness firmly pressed on the sand of times?


Did we have to wait for Gogo to die before we give him the celebration he truly deserves?


Did we have to wait


I ask me and I ask you.


Did we all have to wait?

Where are his pictures? where are his videos? can we find a clip any somewhere anywhere? Where are those who mounted the stage with this great artiste! where are those who were on set while he directed and produced so many great pieces?


Lets bring out pictures of his many many works in and outside this land. So the growing generation can know of Gogo's greatness as a veteran artiste whose relevance on stage stretches across the ages. 


As it is now, you can hardly find detailed information on Gogo on the internet. You can only read hundreds of publication announcing his death! This is very sad.

If we failed to give Gogo the celebration he truly deserves while he was alive, lets not fail to show respect and appreciation now that he is no more. Join me to celebrate the life and death of 
GOGO OMBO.
