Daddy Lumba dies at 60
Ghana’s highlife music maestro, Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba was reported dead on Saturday, July 26, at the Bank Hospital in Accra.
Sources close to the family confirmed that the highlife maestro was admitted days earlier and died at dawn on Saturday.
In an official statement issued by the family through their legal representatives, Baba Jamal & Associates, they described Daddy Lumba as more than just a musician.
In the statement, he was described as a cultural icon whose voice and lyrics left a deep imprint on Ghana’s soul.
“Daddy Lumba was more than a musician; he was a cultural icon whose music touched countless lives.”
“His soulful voice provided the soundtrack to our love stories and his poignant lyrics captured the poetry of our struggles, dreams and resilience.”
Daddy Lumba (born 29 September 1964) is a Ghanaian singer. He was born in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.
In the early 1980s, he debuted on the highlife scene with his massive hit “Yeeye Aka Akwantuo Mu” with Nana Acheampong (known together as ‘Lumba Brothers’).
This song depicted the number of Ghanaian immigrants that originally left the country to seek better fortunes abroad but make those temporary homes permanent due to financial, emotional, or other unforeseen hardships.
Daddy Lumba has won several Ghana Music Awards and other excellence awards and continues to appeal to the young and old
