For more than forty years, Charles Kojo Fosu, famously known as Daddy Lumba, has towered over Ghana’s music scene with unmatched artistry and a prolific discography. With over 33 albums and more than 200 songs, Daddy Lumba is not only Ghana’s most celebrated highlife musician but also a cultural icon whose legacy has shaped the very fabric of Ghanaian music.
From his debut solo album in 1989 to his most recent projects, Daddy Lumba has traversed an astonishing creative path.
Each album is a tapestry of themes—ranging from romantic ballads and social commentary to spiritual yearnings—stitched together by his signature vocal delivery and lyrical wit.
Whether serenading lovers with or poking fun at social, Daddy Lumba’s creative duality continues to intrigue fans and critics alike.
The controversial genius
If consistency is the hallmark of legends, then unpredictability is Lumba’s signature spice.
He is just as known for his deeply spiritual gospel offerings as he is for his risqué lyrics and provocative music videos.
One year, he releases a gospel album with titles praising Jesus; the next, he’s crooning about betrayal and bedroom exploits with a boldness that rattles the conservative crowd.
This duality—reverence on one hand and rebellion on the other—has come to define his complex persona.
It has made him a household name across generations, cutting across demographics and winning him both devout admirers and harsh critics.
Below is a comprehensive look at his discography and the evolution of his sound—an archive of more than 200 songs across 33 albums, including collaborations with the likes of Ofori Amponsah, Borax, and Nana Acheampong.
Each project, whether a solo work or a collaborative effort, reveals something new about the man behind the music.

Legacy and Influence
Daddy Lumba’s influence is impossible to quantify. Many of today’s top Ghanaian musicians—both in highlife and beyond—credit him as their inspiration. His lyrical agility, melodic inventiveness, and ability to reinvent himself over the decades set him apart as not just a musician, but a movement.
Now in his late fifties, Lumba shows no signs of slowing down. In recent interviews and social media posts, he hints at yet another album in the works—his 34th—further extending his remarkable contribution to Ghanaian music and African pop culture at large.
As music platforms continue to immortalise his catalogue, and young fans rediscover his classics, Daddy Lumba stands firmly in the pantheon of African musical greats—a highlife king whose reign remains as golden as ever.
