Confirming the development, Kefee’s husband, Mr Teddy Don-Momoh said that the event would be tagged, ‘Kefee Birthday Project – A Memorial Concert and Album Launch’. He said the event was with the support of his late wife’s friends and colleagues most of who will perform in her honour.
“It hasn’t been easy coping without my wife since last year but God has seen me through so far. She had done a lot of work and there were various plans and different projects we were working on before her sudden death.
“It is only fair for me to continue with most of the work as she would have wanted them and also keep her memory alive. The memorial concert was initially planned during the burial period but because of the shock of the event and some other factors, we couldn’t realise it. “A lot of her friends are interested in honouring her and we are going to do it this time by God’s grace,’’ he said.
He also disclosed that a compilation CD of Kefee’s videos starting from her first hit, ‘Branama’, was also being put together and that guests would access copies on the day of the event.
In a related development the video for ‘Worship Medley’, a song on the last album (Chorus Leader) released by Kefee before her death, has also been released. The video which is over eight minutes long was shot in Hollywood, Los Angeles and Washington and concluded two days before the flight incident that later led to Kefee’s death. The video was directed by the trio of Kefee, Teddy and Promise Adeyemi (Recall that Kefee and Teddy completed a programme in video production at the Chicago Access Network TV in the first half of 2014).
Kefee was a well-liked Pop-Gospel artist who had been active in the entertainment industry for about ten years before her death. She had an in-flight crisis in the U.S. last year and passed away after two weeks of being in a coma on June 13, 2014.
