Throwback to 2011, when the late highlife icon Daddy Lumba set the tone for a memorable and symbolic moment during the first-ever Legends and Legacy Ball held in his honour. The event became historic for more than just the music.
As Lumba performed, former Presidents John Agyekum Kufuor and Jerry John Rawlings were both present at the venue. At a time when rumours of lingering political tension between the two dominated headlines, their shared appearance alone drew attention.
The highlight came when Daddy Lumba, with his performance, drew the spotlight to the two former leaders as they took to the dancefloor. The moment, captured on camera, was subtle but powerful, showing the two ex-presidents swaying to the music amid cheers from the audience.
Though not a direct act of unification, the atmosphere created by Lumba’s music helped frame the scene as one of unexpected harmony. It gave many Ghanaians a moment to reflect on civility and shared national pride, even among political rivals.
More than a decade later, the 2011 Legends and Legacy Ball remains etched in memory not just for celebrating Lumba’s legendary career, but also for that brief yet iconic dancefloor moment between two of Ghana’s most prominent political figures.
