All4real, Lumba out soon! Website
All things being equal, this year will surely be another interesting and entertaining one as two giants in the Ghanaian music industry have started preparing to release new albums as soon as possible. Credible signals picked by GO indicate that Daddy Lumba and Ofori Amponsah are in the studios putting finishing touches to their respective albums, which would come out shortly as soon as they are done. GO learnt that Ofori Amponsah`s latest album contains 10 tracks which is expected to make another landmark in the music industry as it comes out. Although it is not clear which of the two musicians will come out first, a source told GO that the speed at which the two have worked on their albums is marvelous and they are prepared to release them soon. With 20 albums under his belt, Daddy Lumba`s albums have yielded more number one and top ten hits than any other Ghanaian musician in our time. Coining so many phrases with his lyrics, Lumba has been responsible for some of the lingo used in everyday language. Going to a social function without hearing at least one of his songs is like going to Chicago without seeing the Sears Tower silhouetting the skyline. Born Charles Kojo Fosu, Daddy Lumba started his music career as one of the duo in the group Lumba Brothers, when he collaborated with his partner Nana Acheampong and released their first album entitled `Yereye Aka Akwantuo Mu`. This song depicted the number of Ghanaian immigrants that originally leave the country to seek better fortunes abroad but make those temporary homes permanent due to financial, emotional or other unforeseen hardships. The album was produced by Lumba`s wife. Daddy LumbaAfter Lumba Brothers, Lumba`s first solo album became an instant hit catapulting him straight into superstar status and making him a household name and a national treasure. Since then, he has averaged an album a year and has collaborated with other top musicians such as A. B. Crentsil, Selina, Felix Owusu, Yaw Micah, Borax and lately with Pat Thomas another iconic figure in the Ghanaian music industry. On his first solo album, the song `Theresa` quickly became a hit as he crooned about a lover and how no other woman is comparable. His delivery was unique, his style was impeccable. His ability to coin and mince ordinary sounding words and turning them into indecipherable incoherent phrases put his vocal technique unlike any other Ghanaian musician before him. His up tempo beats were undeniably high heat.
