The family of renowned Ghanaian highlife musician Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, has announced a venue change for his upcoming one-week observation. The event, scheduled to take place on Saturday, August 30, 2025, will now be held at the Black Star Square, also known as Independence Square, in Accra. This change was made to accommodate the anticipated large number of family, friends, and well-wishers who wish to attend and pay their respects.
The initial venue was deemed insufficient to cater to the expected crowd, prompting the family to opt for a larger space. The family has apologized for any inconvenience this change may cause and has expressed gratitude for the public’s support during this difficult time. The one-week observation is a significant event in Ghanaian culture, marking a week since the passing of a loved one, and it is expected to draw a considerable crowd of fans, relatives, and dignitaries.
Daddy Lumba was a highly influential musician in Ghana, widely regarded as one of the country’s greatest artists. His music career spanned several decades, and he was known for his unique style, which blended traditional highlife with modern elements. The one-week observation will provide an opportunity for those who knew him and admired his work to come together and celebrate his life and legacy.
The event at the Black Star Square is expected to feature tributes, performances, and speeches from various dignitaries and industry professionals. It will be a chance for the public to reflect on Daddy Lumba’s contributions to Ghanaian music and culture. As the country prepares to bid farewell to one of its musical icons, the venue change ensures that everyone who wishes to attend can do so, and the family can receive the support and condolences they need during this challenging time.
