Thousands of mourners converged at Independence Square in Accra on Saturday, August 30, 2025, to commemorate the one-week observance of the late highlife legend, Daddy Lumba.
Originally scheduled for the University of Ghana Stadium, the venue was changed following a noise-making ban in the La Traditional Area.
Charles Kwadwo Fosu, known professionally as Daddy Lumba, was born on September 29, 1964, in Nsuta, Ashanti Region.
He passed away on July 26, 2025, at the age of 60, after a short illness at The Bank Hospital in Cantonments, Accra.
The celebration was filled with performances of Daddy Lumba’s timeless hits, including Aben Wo Ha, Sika Asem, and Theresa.
The event was part of a series of commemorative activities organized by the Creative Arts Agency and the Fosu family, celebrating Daddy Lumba’s life and legacy. Further details on the funeral arrangements in Kumasi will be announced in due course.
Adomonline's photojournalist, Joseph Odotei, was at the event and captured these moments.
