Ghana’s gospel music community has been struck by grief following the death of Maame Tiwaa, the celebrated backing vocalist of legendary gospel musician Yaw Sarpong.
She passed away in the early hours of Sunday, December 7, after a brief illness.
For decades, Maame Tiwaa stood beside Yaw Sarpong as the soothing female voice of the Yaw Sarpong & Asomafo music group.
She contributed to numerous gospel classics that continue to inspire believers across the country.
Her last known performances were her tribute to Yaw Sarpong at this year’s TGMA night and at her son’s wedding.
In recent months, Maame Tiwa had been actively caring for Yaw Sarpong during his health struggles.
Tragically, Maame Tiwa has passed away, leaving the gospel fraternity and Yaw Sarpong himself in mourning.
Fans and members of the gospel community have begun pouring tributes, remembering her as a gentle soul whose voice brought spiritual upliftment.
The family is yet to release details regarding the cause of her death and funeral arrangements.
