Award-winning Ghanaian hip-hop artist, Bashir Annan, popularly known as Gambo, paid a heartfelt tribute to the late iconic Ghanaian highlife legend, Daddy Lumba, during Davido’s concert in Philadelphia, USA.
Gambo, who is currently touring the United States with Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido, paused his performance at Philadelphia's Liacouras Center on Saturday, August 2, to honor Daddy Lumba—real name Charles Kwadwo Fosu—who passed away on Saturday, July 26, 2025, at the age of 60.
Gambo held a candle light at the 10,000 seating capacity Liacouras Center in honour of the legendary Daddy Lumba.
Born on September 29, 1964, in Nsuta, Daddy Lumba was the son of Johnson Kwadwo Fosuh and Ama Saah. He rose to fame as a trailblazer in the Ghanaian highlife scene, earning multiple Ghana Music Awards and influencing generations with his rich musical legacy.
Recognized as one of Ghana’s most influential highlife musicians, Daddy Lumba’s music continues to resonate across the globe.
Gambo, who won the Unsung Artiste of the Year award at the 2022 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA), has been opening for Davido on his ongoing “5IVE Tour” across the U.S. He recently performed at the KIA Forum Arena in Los Angeles.
