Ghanaians are mourning one of the country's best known singers, Charles Kojo Fosu, known as Daddy Lumba, who has died aged 60.
A statement from the family of the legendary highlife artist said he died in hospital on Saturday after a short illness.
Daddy Lumba, whose musical career spanned almost four decades, "was a cultural icon and his music touched countless lives", the statement said.
Kofi Okyere-Darko, director of diaspora affairs at the office of the president, described Daddy Lumba as "the greatest from Ghana in the last 100 years".
Daddy Lumba inspired many young Ghanaian musicians to pursue highlife music - a genre synonymous with the country.
