The Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) extends its deepest condolences to the family and wife of the late Charles Kwadwo Fosu, affectionately known as Daddy Lumba, and to the entire nation of Ghana at this painful time.
The union mourns alongside millions of Ghanaians over the loss of a true musical icon whose artistry transcended decades and whose melodies shaped the cultural fabric of Ghana. Daddy Lumba was not merely a musician but a beacon of inspiration whose lyrics spoke to love, resilience, and the human experience.

MUSIGA President Bessa Simons, leading a delegation to personally console the bereaved family, stated, “Daddy Lumba’s legacy will live forever in the hearts of Ghanaians. His music uplifted a generation and brought joy to countless souls. We stand united in support of his family, and we pray for strength and peace for his beloved wife and children during this time of profound grief.”
As the nation honors the extraordinary life and contributions of Daddy Lumba through vigils, tributes, and remembrances, MUSIGA pledges to continue promoting and safeguarding the rich heritage of Ghanaian music that he helped define.
We urge the public to respect the privacy of the family as they navigate this difficult period and to celebrate the everlasting legacy of a man whose rhythms and words will echo for generations.
May his soul rest in perfect peace.
Bessa Simons
President
