Ghanaians are scheduled to gather at Independence Square in Accra on Saturday, August 2, for a candlelight celebration honoring the late iconic highlife musician Charles Kwadwo Fosu, also known as Daddy Lumba.
The event, organized by a group of music lovers and fans of the singer, aims to commemorate Lumba’s life, legacy, and enormous contribution to Ghanaian music and culture.
According to organizers, the candlelight vigil will include a live band performance of some of Lumba’s most popular songs, poetry recitals, and tributes from fans and fellow musicians. Participants are invited to wear black and bring candles as symbols of peace, love, and long-lasting adoration.
