Ghanaian music producer David Kojo Kyei, popularly known as Kaywa, has disclosed that Daddy Lumba was recording his last album, which was out of the ordinary before his sudden demise.
Speaking in an interview with Starr FM on July 28, 2025, Kaywa shared that Daddy Lumba wanted to do a timeless project, and that was going to be his last project before he retired.
According to Kaywa, Daddy Lumba decided to do something to give his kids also because he has given Ghana back-to-back hit songs for the past years.
“A month ago, he called me and said he wanted to do a timeless project, and that was going to be his last project before he retires. That’s because he has given Ghana back-to-back hits, so this time he wants to do something he can give to his kids,” he said.
He continued, “When he told me that, I said he doesn’t have to come all the way to the studio, I would make myself available at his house. He had a recording studio in his house, too, so I just had to show up, and we started the recording.”
Kaywa added that Daddy Lumba wanted to experiment and step out of his comfort zone. He explored different genres on the album, including Root Reggae, Amapiano, Afrobeats, and his signature Highlife.
“We did about 27 songs, and they were not like the regular Lumba kind of songs. He wanted to leave his comfort zone. We had Lumba doing Root Reggae, Amapiano, Afrobeats and his regular Highlife.”
