Ghana will unite in song, memory, and gratitude as the Final Funeral Rites of the legendary Highlife musician, Daddy Lumba, are held on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.

The event, themed “A Celebration of a Legendary Life,” will bring together family, friends, fans, and admirers from across the nation and beyond to honour a man whose music defined generations and shaped the landscape of Ghanaian Highlife.

Known for timeless hits such as Theresa, Aben Wo Ha, and Yentie Obiaa, Daddy Lumba — born Charles Kwadwo Fosu — leaves behind an enduring legacy of artistry, inspiration, and cultural pride.

His lyrical genius, unmatched stage presence, and contribution to modern Ghanaian music earned him recognition as one of Africa’s greatest musical icons.
