Daddy Lumba’s musical career spanned almost four decades, earning him the status of a cultural icon.

Born on September 29, 1964, in Nsuta in the Ashanti Region, he began his music journey in the early 1980s.

He adopted the stage name “Lumba” after composing the song Lumba Lumba, which he dedicated to the freedom fighters of South Africa, according to his official website.

He is credited with 33 albums and over 200 songs, exploring themes such as love, forgiveness, beauty, money, death, and other social issues that resonated deeply with Ghanaians and music lovers beyond the country’s borders.
