As stories unfolded, it became clear that ATI, also known as Lekhete Lele Tonatona, may be gone, but his spirit shall live in every heart he touched through his music.
As the service continued, the atmosphere transformed from somber reflection to a heartfelt celebration of ATI’s musical legacy. Famed for his phrase, ‘it's not about me, it's not about you, it's all about the people,’ ATI’s friends, fellow musicians, and fans paid a glowing tribute through emotional performances of the star’s most iconic songs like khiring khiring khorong and ke lekhete, each portraying the impact his songs had on almost every listener worldwide. In his honour, different artists painted portraits of ATI, who not only shaped the music industry but also touched the lives of many.
