Mzbel, a popular Ghanaian artist, feels Castro could have competed with Burna Boy if he were still alive.
Castro had enormous worldwide potential and was on his way to achieving huge global exploits when he was abruptly struck by a calamity, ruining his shine and aspirations, according to the 16-year-old hit-maker.
Mzbel noted in a recent interview on Kingdom FM that Castro, like Burna Boy, had a tremendous appeal across music genres, which was obvious in his flexibility.
“ I know that Castro was always working. He would try many times on whatever he wanted to do, his energy on stage, his voice and he was unique in his own way. So if he was still alive, Ghanaians would have had our own Burna Boy because he had everything .”
Mzbel also praised Castro, calling him the best artist she had the pleasure of cooperating and working with during her heyday.
Before his sad disappearance in 2014, Castro, whose actual name is Theophilus Tagoe, was a significant player in Ghana’s music industry. His particular style and ability to mix numerous genres, such as hiplife and Azonto, catapulted him to fame and gained him a devoted following.
His successful songs like “Seihor” and “African Girls” were anthems that spanned boundaries, establishing him as a household name, notably for his distinct voice not just in Ghana but even abroad.
