Management of the late Highlife legend, Charles Kwadwo Fosu—widely known as Daddy Lumba—says it has received assurances from the Presidency that the iconic musician will be given a befitting burial.
This follows widespread public calls for a state funeral to honour the veteran artiste’s immense contribution to Ghana’s music and creative arts industry.
Daddy Lumba, aged 60, passed away on Saturday, July 26, while undergoing treatment at the Bank Hospital in Accra.
Speaking to Channel One News on Sunday, July 27, the late musician’s lead manager, Philip Kwabena Agyemang Appiah-Kubi—popularly known in entertainment circles as Roman Fada—confirmed positive engagement with the Presidency.
“We have received positive feedback from the Presidency, and I believe President John Dramani Mahama will respond favourably to the public’s call for a befitting burial,” he said.
Discussions are ongoing regarding funeral arrangements, as fans, colleagues, and industry stakeholders continue to mourn the loss of one of Ghana’s most beloved musical figures.
