REGGAE STAR Shasha Marley never thought of meeting ‘an angel of God’ but when God wanted to use him to bless Ghanaians, He sent His messenger to meet him on a US plane.

Shasha has disclosed that he has had an encounter with an angel of God on a flight from New York to New Orleans, both in the US. This, according to him, inspired him to sing a political song titled “Boom Boom Boom, Waa Waa Waa”.

“I didn’t sit down to compose it. It was not a song I sat down and wrote.
I believe I had an encounter with an angel of God who made me sing that song,” he stated.

In an interview with Beatwaves last Thursday, Shasha said he was returning from the lavatory in a flight when an elderly woman tapped him and introduced herself as Anica.

The woman, he said, looked him in the face and said “I guess you are a Ghanaian.’

Shocked, Shasha however managed to say “yes” and asked, “how did you get to know that I am a Ghanaian?” The woman interestingly responded she could tell who was a Ghanaian and later in the course of conversation, told him she had been in Ghana before.

She said she was in Ghana when former President Rawlings made his “Boom” speech and Kufuor, his “Waa Waa” speech, the reggae star indicated.

He later went to take his seat but forgot to take the woman’s phone number.

However, when they landed at New Orleans, he went to Anica’s seat to get her number but to his dismay, a different woman was there.

When he enquired about Anica from the new woman, she said she had been the one sitting on that seat all along since the plane took off from New York.

Shasha said: “It was like a mystery. Since then, I did not meet Anica again.”

He continued: “Two weeks later, I had a dream that the plane has landed and we were at the language checkpoint.

I saw this woman in the corner so I went to her and said ‘Anica where have you been? I have been looking for you’.”

Shasha said in the dream Anica looked at him and said “look Shasha, I heard you doing that song, do it because it is good.”

According to him, he asked her what song and she said to him, “the song that we spoke about in the plane about Ghana politics, the “boom boom” and “waa waa.”

He woke up to realise it was all a dream.
Shasha Marley said though he loved to sing to break the barriers that held his brethren in captivity, the song, Boom Boom, Waa Waa was not something he planned to sing.

It was a divine song from heaven through an angel, he stressed.
