Kefee Obareki Don Momoh was born in Sapele, Delta State of Nigeria, on February 5, 1980. She had a successful gospel music career spanning over a decade. Her first album, Branama, was a sensation that took her to lamplight and was one of the top gospel singers before she suddenly passed on due to pregnancy complications on June 12, 2014, at 34. Igbunu in Urhobo is miracle, or something sensational. It is a song of testimony and thanksgiving. The verses are in English and it speaks of God’s grace and ability to elevate the downtrodden.
