Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

 

The Diaspora Affairs Office of the President (DAOOP) has paid tribute to the late Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, describing him as one of the greatest musical icons in Ghanaian and African history.

In a statement issued on Saturday, the DAOOP expressed deep sorrow over his passing, celebrating his illustrious career that spanned more than three decades and produced over 34 acclaimed albums.

Daddy Lumba, the statement said, was more than a musician he was “a voice of a people, a keeper of emotion, and a cultural architect” whose music transcended time, class and borders.

The release highlighted his humble beginnings in Nsuta and his rise to global acclaim, noting his versatility, lyrical genius and fearless originality that reshaped highlife music and elevated Ghana’s artistic influence internationally.

Iconic songs such as Aben Wɔ Ha, Theresa, Sika Asem, and Mesom Yesu were cited as anthems that have resonated with generations of Ghanaians at home and abroad.

“For the millions of Ghanaians in the diaspora, Daddy Lumba was more than a singer. He was a tether to home,” the statement said, emphasizing how his music connected Ghanaians across continents—from radios in London to community centres in Toronto, speakers in the Bronx, and even cultural spaces in Lagos and Tokyo.

The DAOOP described Daddy Lumba not only as a national treasure but also as a “global cultural bridge,” whose music carried the soul of Ghana to the world and brought the world back to Ghana.

“We extend our deepest condolences to his family, loved ones, and the entire artistic and cultural creative community. May his legacy continue to inspire new generations of creators,” the statement concluded, adding, “Legends do not die. They become eternal.”
