K.O.K Releases New Song - "We Go Miss You - Bello"
By Lans Omar, Winnipeg, Canada. September 19, 2023.
Sierra Leone entertainment maestro, K.O.K., has released a brand-new song in honour of the passing of his childhood friend Alhaji Buhari Bello.
The song was officially released on Youtube and other medias on September 19, 2023.
Simply titled “We Go Miss You – Bello” laments about the life and times of Alhaji Buhari Bello and how everyone will miss him so dearly.
“We Go Miss You – Bello” opens with the late Bello himself asking K.O.K. to recite a Surah in the Holy Quran 100 times and Allah will bless you.
The chorus of “We Go Miss You - Bello” is a wailing cry of “Bello, we go miss you. Bello, we go miss you”. Truly touching.
Mid way in the song, you can hear Bello reciting the verses of the sacred book again – he says: “according to the Quran, the world will end on a Friday and when we die and go to Heaven and Judgement Day is real and everyone is equal in Heaven”.
As he delivers his melodious voice, K.O.K. asks Bello to “say hello to Kaylayjoe Caesar, MedRock and Izzo”.
Sierra Leonean gospel singer, John Gbla, is also working a new tribute song honouring Bello; the song will be released soon.

Bello passed away on August 10th, 2023 in China; his remains was transported to Freetown, Sierra Leon, where he was given a befitting Islamic funeral with friends and families from all over the world paying their last respects to the Great American Bello.
Bello will be remembered as “Mr. Cool”; arguably the coolest among all. Since he was a child growing up in Freetown, he prayed his five daily prayers, hardly missed one.
For many of us including the singer K.O.K., Bello has left an indelible footprint on our hearts as one person who treated everyone/anyone equally.
Others will remember him as pioneer of the modern-day Sierra Leone entertainment industry and he was also the co-creator of the Great American Tourists.
Rest in peace Cole! Rest on BellMan!
Enjoy “We Go Miss You – Bello”.
