A touching video circulating on social media shows a mentally unstable man captivating attendees at a random funeral with a heartfelt rendition of a Daddy Lumba song.
The emotional moment unfolded just hours after the news broke of the legendary highlife musician’s passing at The Bank Hospital in Accra, following a short illness, according to a statement released by his family.
The unidentified man, believed to be mentally challenged, was spotted at the funeral grounds singing one of Daddy Lumba’s songs word for word. Eyewitnesses say the crowd was stunned by his accuracy and passion, despite his condition.
Moved by his dedication and spirit, bystanders handed him a microphone. He delivered the performance with astonishing energy and confidence, prompting those present to spray cash on him as a sign of admiration.
The video has since gone viral, with thousands of Ghanaians sharing it as a powerful symbol of how far-reaching Daddy Lumba’s music has been, touching even the most vulnerable in society.
Although the funeral was unrelated to Daddy Lumba, the scene has become one of the most moving tributes yet shared in his memory. It illustrates the profound emotional connection many Ghanaians have with his music, regardless of social status, mental state, or circumstance.
Known in private life as Charles Kojo Fosu, Daddy Lumba’s legacy spans more than four decades, during which he released numerous hits that became the soundtrack to love, heartbreak, joy, and perseverance.
Social media users continue to praise the man’s performance, with some suggesting the video be included in national tributes to celebrate Lumba’s life and contribution to Ghanaian music.
As the nation mourns a true legend, moments like these offer raw, unscripted proof of how deeply Daddy Lumba’s music resonated, not just as entertainment but as a voice for the soul.
