The family of the late singer, Dada Kweku Duah, popularly known as Dada K.D, recently met with the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) to discuss final preparations for a one-week celebration in his honor.

The event is scheduled to take place on June 21 at the East Legon Executive Club.

Leading the family delegation was Nana Kaakyire Kwame Appiah, former Vice President of MUSIGA, who confirmed that preparations are well underway. He expressed heartfelt gratitude to MUSIGA for their unwavering support during this difficult time.

Nana Kaakyire also called for sobriety and respect as the family mourns, urging the public to refrain from sensationalizing the circumstances surrounding Dada K.D’s passing to ensure he receives a dignified and befitting burial.

MUSIGA President Bessa Simons reflected on his personal relationship with Dada K.D, which began in the early 2000s after they met in Germany. “Dada K.D was a fine gentleman—affable, humble, and immensely talented.

He will be sorely missed,” he said. President Simons reassured the family of MUSIGA’s full support in honoring the late artist’s legacy. Dada K.D’s repertoire included hits like Fathia Fata Nkrumah, My Heart Goes Boom and Odo Mu Anigye.

The family delegation included Kojo Brefo (brother), Michelle Sarfoah Dwomoh (niece), Kwame Kenyase (brother), Henrietta Akosua Dwomoh-Mantey (sister), John Juran Oduro (nephew), and Daniel Oduro (brother). The MUSIGA team was represented by S.K. Agyemang (General Secretary), Ahuma Bosco Ocansey (Director of Special Projects and Communications), and Brenda Badawiisi Zulfata Issah, P.A to the MUSIGA President.

The one-week celebration promises to be a fitting homage to a remarkable artist whose music and spirit touched many.
