Daddy Lumba and Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II

Music must reflect the aspirations of the people - Otumfuo
The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has advised
Ghanaian musicians to let the import of their
songs reflect societal needs and aspirations of
the people.

He said music is the food for the body and soul
and must always rekindle the spirit while
encouraging the body to strengthen itself to face
the challenges of the world.

Otumfuo Osei Tutu gave the advice on Friday, when
Mr Charles Kwadwo Fosu, alias Dady Lumba, a
renowned Ghanaian musician, paid a courtesy call
on him at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi.

The call, was to formally introduce himself to the
King and thank him for his support and
encouragement, which has helped in his music
career.

Dady Lumba was led to the palace by Dr Kwaku
Oteng, Chief Executive Officer of Angel Group of
Companies, who has billed the musician to stage a
musical concert in Kumasi on December 24, 2011.

Otumfuo Osei Tutu advised Dady Lumba to humble
himself and work to promote Ghanaian music and
culture to the outside world while helping the
Ghanaian society to get rid of some of the
challenges facing the people.

He pledged his continuous support to the promotion
of education and culture in the country and called
on all to play their part to ensure that Ghanaian
children were educated to reduce poverty in
society.

Dady Lumba thanked the Asantehene for the
encouragement and promise to work hard to
contribute his quota towards the development of
not only Asanteman but Ghana as a whole.
