Five months on,finally the greenlight has been given for the final funeral rights of Charles Kwadwo Fosu, affectionately called, Daddy Lumba to come of today at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Accra.

A widely loved Ghanaian highlife legend's death followed about five months of family clash over who had authority to organize the burial service. Yesterday after a missed deadline by one of the disputing parties, the funeral preparations began and a huge crowd thronged the stadium even during dawn as the set up for the ceremony was underway.

The cameras of JoyNews spotted traders busily selling T-shirts of different colours with Daddy Lumba images embossed on them.

The Final Journey

Daddy Lumba, whose musical career spanned over thirty years and yielded more than 30 hit albums, left an indelible mark on Ghanaian music.

Today's service is Ghana's opportunity to collectively honour the man who gave the nation songs that defined generations, from poignant ballads like Sese Wo Suban to popular anthems like Aben Wo Aha.
