Former manager of the late Highlife icon Daddy Lumba, Roman Fada, has revealed that the musician’s burial site will soon be opened to the public as a mausoleum where admirers can honour his memory.
Speaking in an interview with media personality Kofi Adoma, Roman Fada disclosed that the family will, in the coming days, announce when the public can begin visiting the late musician’s final resting place to pay their respects and lay wreaths in his honour.
He explained that the family’s vision is to transform the site into a mausoleum that will preserve Daddy Lumba’s legacy while giving fans and music lovers the opportunity to learn more about his extraordinary career and contributions to Ghana’s music industry.
According to him, visitors may be required to pay an admission fee to enter the facility, with the proceeds expected to be used for the maintenance and management of the mausoleum.
“The family has made it clear that the date when the public will have access to pay their respects at the final resting place of the late Daddy Lumba will soon be announced. The family’s plan is to turn the final resting place into a mausoleum, where the public will be required to pay a certain fee to access the facility,” he stated.
Roman Fada further indicated that the mausoleum will serve as an educational centre where visitors will be taken through the life and legacy of the celebrated Highlife legend.
He noted that guests will learn about Daddy Lumba’s upbringing, musical journey, achievements, awards, landmark performances and the lasting influence he had on Ghanaian music.
He also disclosed that large digital screens will be installed within the facility to showcase footage from some of Daddy Lumba’s iconic concerts and stage performances.
To complete the experience, he said the late musician’s songs will be played throughout the mausoleum, allowing visitors to relive his timeless music while celebrating his enduring legacy.
Roman Fada’s remarks come after the family of the late Highlife legend commemorated the first anniversary of his passing by unveiling details about his final resting place.
