1 week ago Honouring a Legend: Why Ghana must honour Daddy Lumba with a Posthumous PhD

I met Charles Kwadwo Fosu, affectionately known as Daddy Lumba, in 1992 when I interviewed him for the debut issue of the first Black Magazine in Germany, a publication I had founded to spotlight African voices in the diaspora. That encounter turned out to be far more than a journalistic assignment; it was the beginning of a lifelong friendship. Not long after, we embarked on a concert tour across Hamburg, Düsseldorf, and Amsterdam, with Lumba’s background vocalist, Afia Ampofowaa, on stage. I had the honour of managing that tour, and the performances were unforgettable—each city welcoming us with sold-out venues and electric crowds. Lumba was undoubtedly a star, but to me, he was more than that. He was a brother, a fellow "Borga" navigating life in a foreign land, and above all, a friend.
