standing side by side, dancing and cheering were a
few of those rare sights Ghanaian music lovers and
fans were treated to last Saturday, November 12 at
the Accra International Conference Centre.

This, of course, could only happen at the
celebrations and honouring of a living legend,
Daddy Lumba (DL).

The night was charged with unity and pure delight
as the two august personalities of the opposing
sides interacted and bonded over Ghana’s
renowned Highlife star, Daddy Lumba’s authentic
Ghanaian music.

It was even more interesting to see former
president Kufuor and Nana Konadu Rawlings, who
have never been the best of friends exhibiting
‘killer’ dance moves as Mr.

Legend music star Daddy Lumba takes the stage
Rawlings cheered them on.

This had everyone on their feet applauding and
dancing along with them. The event, Legends and
Legacy Ball, which was the first of its kind has
arguably acclaimed as the highlight of
entertainment events that have taken place this
year.

Even Kwaw Kese had to agree and said so
accordingly, commending the two political rivals
for exhibiting such unity. He even got down the
stage and asked them to shake hands.

DL known in his private life as Charles Kojo Fosu,
did same by thanking the two former presidents for
coming together during his last performance.

“This cannot happen anywhere except at Daddy
Lumba’s show - I am so happy and I thank you all
for coming,” he said.

Other acts including Praye, Nacy of No Tribe fame,
Kofi B, Kofi Nti, Rana, Felix Owusu, Kesse, KK
Fosu, Mzbel, Castro, and Philipa Baafi, gave
amazing performances paying tribute to Lumba.

presented a 24-carat gold chain, a plaque among
others to Daddy Lumba, which was given to him by a
representative from Voice of America and Daddy
Lumba’s godmother and former teacher, Mama
