Ghana's Livingstone Etse Satekla, better known by his stage name Stonebwoy took his signature sound and authentic dancehall experience to Marina Green Park in L.A. California, performing at this year's Cali Vibes Festival on Saturday (February 17).
A luminary in contemporary afropop and lauded for his profound lyricism and remarkable achievements in the global music scene, the Ghanaian musician headlined the festival's Boomyard Stage, captivating the audience with his energetic performance and global appeal.

Throughout his set, Stonebwoy treated fans to an electrifying showcase of his hit songs, seamlessly blending infectious rhythms with poignant storytelling. From chart-toppers like "Gidigba", "Run Go" "People Dey", "Non-Stop", "Apotheke" to soul-stirring anthems. In a special tribute to the legendary Bob Marley, he also delivered a stirring remake of "Buffalo Soldier" which features he vocals.
On the night, Stonebwoy commanded the stage with his magnetic presence, igniting a palpable energy that reverberated throughout the venue.
With a lineup of upcoming shows that span the globe, including the Rolling Cocoa Festival in Washington DC on March 9 and the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival in California from June 21 to 23, Stonebwoy's journey is far from over.
