Ghanaian gospel star Mistress Dorcas claimed the Best Diaspora Gospel Song of the Year award at the Ghana Music Awards Europe 2026 in Düsseldorf, Germany, with her track “Obra.” The song, whose title means “Life” in Akan, stood out among entries from Afriy David’s “Eduru Me So,” Akua Lizz’s “Wo Do Me,” Daniel Jeddman’s “Nyame,” Felicia Boadu’s “Aseda,” Nana Yaa Otchere’s “Ahoto,” RevGraceMan’s “My Father,” Samuel Sey’s “Waye’bi,” and Yaw Bossman’s “He Go Do Am Again.”
The ceremony, which gathered Ghanaian musicians and industry stakeholders across Europe, highlighted the growing influence of Ghanaian gospel artists living abroad. Dorcas’s win underscores her growing impact on the gospel scene and her role in promoting Ghanaian musical excellence internationally.
Beyond her musical achievements, Dorcas remains active in humanitarian work through the Mistress Dorcas Foundation, which she founded to aid the underprivileged. The foundation distributes food, clothing, financial assistance and other necessities to vulnerable and homeless individuals. “Obra” reflects her mission, urging listeners to show kindness, love and understanding toward those in need.
With this international accolade and her continued charitable efforts, Mistress Dorcas is building a legacy that extends well beyond the stage, using her platform to inspire hope and positive change.
