Ghanaian highlife legend Kojo Antwi is set to bid a final farewell to his beloved mother this weekend in Obo, Kwahu, as family, friends, and admirers gather to honour a life that spanned a full century.
The funeral rites, though marked by grief, will also serve as a powerful celebration of a woman who embodied grace, resilience, and deep love.
The late matriarch, who passed away at the age of 100, was more than just a mother to Kojo Antwi; she was his pillar and inspiration.
“This weekend, we gather in Obo, Kwahu, not just to mourn but to celebrate the life of my remarkable mother, who lived a full century. A hundred years of grace, strength, and love. Rest well, Mama,” the music icon shared in a heartfelt tribute.
Known affectionately as “Mr Music Man”, Kojo Antwi has long been a household name, capturing hearts with his soulful highlife rhythms and poetic ballads. As he prepares to lay his mother to rest, many see this moment as a time to reflect on the woman who shaped the man behind the music.
The burial is expected to draw a significant crowd, including fellow musicians, dignitaries, and devoted fans, who will not only pay respects to a cherished matron but also stand in solidarity with one of Ghana’s most beloved cultural figures.
This weekend’s ceremony will be more than just a funeral; it will be a tribute to a legacy, a moment of unity, and a celebration of a life well lived.
