Ghanaian artiste and music producer Kuami Eugene, has paid homage to late Togolese music legend Omar B, known in private life as Ahiangban Omar.

Kuami Eugene, in paying homage to the fallen legend, has released a rendition of Omar B’s classic hit song, 'Awoo Mawugné.'

According to Kuami Eugene, a friend introduced Omar B’s songs to him, due to the creative semblance in ability to write, sing, and produce.

Against this backdrop, Kuami Eugene began to enquire about Omar B and realised he died at a point his career was thriving, leaving behind a young family.

Consequently, Kuami Eugene decided to go ahead with a rendition of his “Awoo mawugné" song, which has been on his heart and donate the revenue accrued to Omar B’s family.

“After I got the translation of the song from some friends, I realised he had put together some powerful lyrics, so I decided to do a rendition in his honour,” he said.

The Rockstar further revealed that, “This is not for profit. It’s purely out of love and respect. I have no intention of exploiting this work. All revenues generated from this upload will go directly to Omar B’s family.”

For this reason, it is Kuami Eugene’s prayer that the song generates a lot of views and money for the family of the late Omar B.

Due to his ingenuity coupled with his meteoric rise, Omar B became a role model and an inspiration to Togo's young talents.

While a third album, dubbed ‘Me, Myself and I’, was released in 2019, Omar B died suddenly at the age of 35 on February 20, 2020, following a heart attack.
