The late Daddy Lumba (L) and Kojo Antwi (R)
A vintage piece of Ghana’s musical history has resurfaced online and evoked nostalgia and admiration for two of the nation’s most celebrated musicians, the late Daddy Lumba and Kojo Antwi.
The 30-year-old video, shared by TikTok user @oheneno on Sunday, September 21, 2025, features a rare live performance by the two legends at the Brixton Academy in London in 1995.
In the clip, Kojo Antwi, popularly known as the “Music Man,” delivers a soul-stirring rendition of his timeless classic Bo Me Nkomo to an electrified audience.
Midway through the performance, Daddy Lumba, who was also billed to perform at the event, joined Antwi on stage, seamlessly assuming the role of backing vocalist and hype man.
The video captures what many consider the golden era of our music industry because that period was when artists like Kojo Antwi and Daddy Lumba dominated the airwaves and were highly sought after across the diaspora.
The resurfaced footage has stirred emotions among fans, who see it as both a celebration of Ghana’s rich musical heritage and a poignant reminder of Daddy Lumba’s enduring legacy following his passing on July 26, 2025.
