The life and legacy of Ghanaian highlife musician Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, will be honoured with a one-week observation at the University of Ghana (Legon) Sports Stadium on Saturday, August 30, 2025.
This was confirmed in a post by DL FM.
Earlier, the Ekuona Royal Family of Nsuta, to which the late music legend belonged, made the announcement through their family head, the Abusuapanyin, during a press briefing that the event in Accra will give fans and sympathizers from across the country an opportunity to pay their respects before the final funeral rites in Kumasi.
The decision on the venues, the family revealed, was made after a formal visit to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, to inform him of the passing of his “royal son.”
“When we officially informed the Asantehene of the passing of Daddy Lumba, he reminded us that Daddy Lumba is a royal,” the Abusuapanyin said.
Following this, the family resolved that while the one-week observance could be hosted in Accra for accessibility, the final funeral rites must take place in Kumasi, the Ashanti regional capital. In line with royal tradition, the body will be presented to the Asantehene as part of the burial process.
The family also indicated that, as part of customary protocol, they will pay a visit to the Ga Mantse in Accra to formally inform him of Daddy Lumba’s passing and the scheduled funeral events.
This one-week gathering is expected to draw thousands of mourners, industry colleagues, and music lovers to celebrate the man whose songs became the soundtrack to generations of Ghanaian life.
