His death sent shockwaves across the country and the diaspora, with tributes pouring in from fans, colleagues, politicians, and international admirers.

For many Ghanaians, his passing represented the end of an era in highlife, a genre that has been the heartbeat of the nation’s music for decades.

Daddy Lumba began his musical career in the 1980s, when he released his debut album, “Yeeye Aka Akwantuo”, in collaboration with Nana Acheampong, as they were both known as the Lumba Brothers.

From the romantic balladry of Makra Mo to the playful mischief of Aben Wo Ha, Daddy Lumba consistently redefined the meaning of entertainment, embedding his artistry in the everyday experiences of Ghanaians.

He has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on the music industry, inspiring many musicians.

Daddy Lumba had 33 albums to his credit and won numerous awards, both local and international.
