Musician and business mogul Desmond Blackmore, popularly known as D-Black, says his “heart is at peace” after finally meeting the father of Highlife artiste Castro, Mr Cofie Eshun.
It’s been seven years since Castro went missing and D-Black took to social media to eulogise the artiste on his anniversary recounting fond memories of moments they shared together.
However, the Black Avenue Muzik boss decided to take things further by travelling to Takoradi – the birthplace of Castro – to meet with his father who is still optimistic about his son’s return.
D-Black shared photos of their meeting on social media expressing his excitement about their meeting.
“Went to Takoradi, found Castro’s Dad. Now I’m happy ????Love All Round,” he captioned the photos.
Additionally, he shared a video of himself, saying “My heart is finally at peace” as he announced his preparedness to head back to Accra.
Prior to the tragic event in Ada, D-Black and Castro collaborated on songs like ‘Personal Person’ and ‘Seihor’.

The news of Castro’s disappearance was a huge blow to Ghanaians.
Castro and his friend Janet Badu were reported to have drowned following a jet ski accident at Ada Estuary on July 6, 2014.
After days of search and no sign of the two missing people, the little light of hope that the singer who had enthralled people with his talent will be found dwindled and seven years down the line, it seems all hope is lost.
Castro was legally declared dead on July 6, 2021, on the seventh anniversary of his disappearance in accordance with the constitution.
According to the Evidence Act, 1975 (N.R.C.D. 323) when a person has not been heard from in seven years despite the efforts to search for that person, he or she will be presumed dead.
The family however insists they have no plans to hold his funeral with the hope the musician would return.
Speaking on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z, Mr. Eshun said: “We haven’t decided to hold any funeral or whatever. If tomorrow we all wake up as a family and enough evidence from our investigation has led us to have a decision, that all is over, then why not?
“If we find out that all that we are looking for points to the conclusion that it is finished, then we will come out and issue a statement. But for now, we haven’t.
“Now, it is only rumours that he has been declared dead. If he has been declared dead, fine, so be it but we the family are yet to receive anything official from the Ghana police,” Mr. Eshun added.
