Award-winning Ghanaian reggae and dancehall sensation, Ras Kuuku, has unveiled plans for a groundbreaking collaboration with iconic highlife musician, Daddy Lumba. In an exclusive interview with Andy Dosty on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz, Ras Kuuku revealed that preliminary discussions have taken place, paving the way for an original track that will fuse their unique styles.
“We are exploring the possibility of a collaboration, but it won’t be a remix of his classic hits,” Ras Kuuku clarified, expressing optimism that the timing will soon align to bring this musical synergy to fruition.
Ras Kuuku’s admiration for Daddy Lumba’s profound impact on Ghanaian music was evident during his heartfelt tribute performance of Ankwanoma at Lumba’s 60th birthday celebration. Andy Dosty praised Ras Kuuku’s captivating rendition, which demonstrated his deep respect for the highlife legend.
As the leader of Puom Music label and Puom Nation, Ras Kuuku has collaborated with an impressive array of Ghanaian artists, including Kofi Kinaata, Samini, Kuami Eugene, Ypee, and Fameye. A union with Daddy Lumba would not only cement his status as a versatile artist but also bridge the gap between reggae-dancehall and highlife, creating a distinctly Ghanaian sound.
With this potential collaboration, music enthusiasts can anticipate an innovative blend of styles, showcasing the richness and diversity of Ghanaian music.
