3G Awards to Honour Daddy Lumba with Posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award in New York

The legacy of Ghanaian highlife icon Charles Kojo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, will be celebrated in grand style in New York City as the 3G Media Group prepares to honour the late musician with a Posthumous Lifetime Achievement and Music Legend Award at the 15th Edition of the 3G Awards and Celebrity Bash.

The event, slated for October 23 at the UYC Banquet Hall, 301 Palisade Avenue, Yonkers, New York, is expected to draw members of the Ghanaian diaspora, entertainment personalities, music lovers and distinguished guests for an evening dedicated to excellence and cultural celebration.

The special tribute will spotlight Daddy Lumba’s extraordinary musical journey — his timeless catalogue, unmatched artistry, and profound influence on Ghanaian highlife and contemporary music. His body of work continues to resonate across generations and remains a defining pillar of Ghana’s cultural identity.

A LEGEND. A LEGACY. AN ICON FOREVER.
For the 3G Media Group, the honour goes beyond an award presentation. It is a celebration of a musical titan whose creativity shaped Ghana’s entertainment landscape and whose influence extends far beyond the nation’s borders.

Under the theme “Celebrating Daddy Lumba in a New York Big Apple Style and State of Mind,” this year’s edition aims to unite the Ghanaian community and global music enthusiasts in paying homage to a legacy that continues to inspire.

The event will highlight three core elements:

• the greatness of legendary personalities,
• the richness of Ghanaian music,
• and the enduring power of cultural heritage that transcends borders.

Daddy Lumba’s posthumous recognition is expected to serve as a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the contributions of artists whose work leaves an indelible mark on society.
