Veteran Ghanaian highlife musician Dada KD will be given a state-assisted burial on Saturday, August 16, 2025, at the forecourt of the State House in Accra.
His final resting place will be in his hometown, Agona Asaaman in the Central Region, following a burial service, with a thanksgiving ceremony set for Sunday, August 17.
The funeral arrangements were announced by the family during a one-week memorial held at the East Legon Executive Club. The event attracted a host of dignitaries, musicians, and sympathizers, including Kojo Antwi, Kaakyire Kwame Appiah, and Nana Romeo.
Mourners are expected to wear black and white in remembrance of the highlife legend, whose death on May 17, 2025, after a short illness, shocked many.
He passed away just days before he was scheduled to perform in London alongside Obrafour, Slim Buster, and Kojo Blakk.
The upcoming funeral is expected to draw a large crowd of fans and industry figures, all paying tribute to Dada KD’s lasting impact on Ghanaian music.
