Daddy Lumba Made History: A Night That United Presidents Kuffuor and Rawlings

In the year 2011, Ghana witnessed a powerful moment of unity, not in Parliament or at a political summit, but on a stage filled with music and celebration.

At the maiden edition of the Legends and Legacy Ball held in Accra, legendary highlife musician Daddy Lumba did more than perform.

He brought together two of Ghana’s most influential former Presidents Jerry John Rawlings and John Agyekum Kuffuor in a heartfelt moment that touched the nation.

Rumours of political tension had often surrounded the two leaders. But that evening, when Daddy Lumba called out their names during his performance and dedicated a song to them, something changed.

In a rare and emotional scene, both Former Presidents smiled, and danced side-by-side showing that music truly has the power to heal and unite.

The crowd erupted in applause. For many, it wasn’t just a tribute to Lumba’s musical legacy, but a reminder of what binds us as a people beyond politics.

Organised by Imajin Advertising, the event honoured Daddy Lumba for his decades of contribution to Ghanaian music. Yet it was this one moment, when the two statesmen dancing in harmony that made history.
