Before his tragic death on July 26, 2025, Daddy Lumba was working on his 34th and final album, according to Ghanaian music producer Kaywa. As stated by Kaywa,
Lumba was committed to producing a timeless work that would be a parting gift to his family and fans as well as a personal legacy.
The Vision of the Album
Kaywa revealed in an interview with Starr FM that Daddy Lumba wanted to try out a variety of musical styles, such as Afrobeats, amapiano, root reggae, and his trademark highlife sound.
Reaching a younger audience—especially his own kids—was the goal of this break from his conventional style. According to Kaywa, they recorded roughly seven songs, each of which deviated from the standard Lumba style, demonstrating his willingness to experiment and push limits.
Procedure for Recording
Kaywa worked directly at Lumba’s fully furnished home studio to create a cosy and suitable recording environment. Lumba was able to concentrate on making music without interruptions thanks to this arrangement, which created a more laid-back atmosphere. Given Lumba’s vision for the album, Kaywa underlined that this arrangement was essential to assisting him in producing high-calibre work.
