Plans are underway for a second funeral ceremony to honour the life and legacy of Ghana’s iconic highlife legend, Daddy Lumba, according to an official announcement by Papa Shee, spokesperson for the late musician’s widow, Akosua Serwaa.
The event, titled “The Celebration of the Life of Daddy Lumba,” is scheduled to take place on March 28 and 29, 2026, in the Greater Accra Region. The ceremony is expected to bring together family members, industry players, fans, and well-wishers from across Ghana and beyond to celebrate the extraordinary impact Daddy Lumba had on Ghanaian music.
Papa Shee explained that the upcoming ceremony is intended to be a grand celebration of life, giving fans and the music industry another opportunity to honour a man whose voice, lyrics, and timeless songs shaped generations.
Daddy Lumba, widely regarded as one of the greatest highlife musicians Ghana has ever produced, left behind a powerful musical legacy that continues to influence contemporary artists. His songs remain cultural staples, touching themes of love, life, pain, joy, and resilience.
The announcement of a second funeral has already sparked conversations among fans, many of whom see it as a fitting tribute to an artist whose influence extended far beyond the stage.
