The Lumba Brothers’ landmark 1989 album, Yɛɛyɛ Aka Akwantuo Mu, captured the struggles and longing of Ghanaians living abroad. But getting the project released took financial support.

Akosua Serwaa, Daddy Lumba’s first wife, helped finance the album and is credited in accounts of its creation as its producer. Her support helped bring an enduring chapter of Ghanaian highlife to life.

After dying of cancer in Bucharest, Romania, in April 1972, Nkrumah was first buried in Conakry, Guinea. Following protracted negotiations between Sékou Touré and Ghana's then-military ruler Ignatius Kutu Acheampong, his remains were exhumed and reburied in his hometown of Nkroful in July 1972. In 1992, his body was moved a final time to the newly constructed Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park and Mausoleum in downtown Accra.

The woman behind Daddy Lumba’s emotional classic “Theresa” was more than an artistic muse. Theresa Abebrese was his secondary-school sweetheart, and her support helped change the direction of his life. Lumba recalled that she contributed to the cost of his journey to Germany alongside his mother. He later explained the song as a lasting expression of gratitude for her kindness when his future was uncertain.
