Terry Bonchaka....His spirit still lives on In the life of every legend who had been cut short in their prime be it Bob Marley, Tupac Shakur, Bruce Lee or Elvis Presley, mysteries and controversies surround them even on to death.

The case of the late Terrence Nii Okan Mensah Adjetey (a.k.a) Terry Bonchaka, who died in a ghastly motor accident four months ago, is not different.

First is the fact that Bonchaka had over 40 unreleased songs, which is a record by any standards. Even his family was unaware of the extent the budding impressive show stopper had gone in his music career.

When his peers were resting on their oars. Terry was putting his creativity to work as if he knew he had very limited time on earth, a feat comparable only to that of the late Tupac Shakur.

The energetic musician whose sun set at his prime ? he was 21- unlike other contemporary hiplife artistes in his genre, no woman could be linked to him as he was rumored to be a virgin due to his strict upbringing. So, while others were using their creativity to sow wide oats, Bonchaka used his own improve his talent and stagecraft.

Those who had the benefit of watching him perform on stage, can testify that Bonchaka?s performance was like freshly squeezed fruit juice, unique and delightful.

For an artiste who had only an album to his credit before his death, his popularity was massive making him stand side by side with those who have been in the music business for decades.

Celebrated in life and death, the marmouth crowd that witnessed the wake keeping and funeral of the Icon still remains unprecedented in the show business history of Ghana.

Apart from selling music history, he also set fashion history with his old school style

You may recall that your refreshing P & P was the first news paper in the world to report that Bonchaka lives.

We can authoritatively tell you that four months after his immortalisation; his baby has been outdoored.

On Sunday, January 25 2004, a colour ceremony was held at Abeka-Lapaz in Accra to outdoor a bouncing baby boy who has been named after the late legendary musician.

Thus, Terry Bonchaka has become a godfather, even in death. Though not the biological father of the child in question, P & P can authoritatively inform you that it is due to the love the family had for the late musician that made them name their first child ?Terry Bonchaka.?

According to the biological father of the child, Nii Okan Pupulampu, he chose to name alive and as a mark of honour to him.

Revealing further, Nii Okan Pupulampu said that the late Bonchaka and him were bosom friends and that he is also one of the artiste?s most dedicated fans.

The decision to name the child who is his first, after Terry was applauded by the family of the late musician who attended the outdooring in their numbers.

Terry?s mother, Mrs. Charlotte Mavis Ayokor Adjetey was present at the occasion and could not hide her joy as carried adopted grandchild for most of the duration of the ceremony.

Mrs. Adjetey thanked Nii Okan and his wife, Monica Okan for exhibiting such a friendly gesture. She was overjoyed that her late son still has disciples who religiously believe in what he stood for. She pampered little Terry Bonchaka with gifts.

The ceremony was well attended and Bonchaka?s evergreen music was played continuously to the delight of all present. You may recall that 21- year old Bonchaka died tragically in a motor accident on October 2003, after a performance at the University of Ghana, Legon. 

P & P hopes that little Terry will be a colossus like Bonchaka.
