The song, “Theresa” is my favourite Daddy Lumba song. I can listen to the song like 300 times in a day. Literally!
The song, which was released in 1990, was one of hit singles on the ‘Obi Ate Me So Bo’ album (Lumba’s first solo album).
Theresa Abebrese aka Nana Konadu was an ex-girlfriend of Daddy Lumba. The pair met at Juabeng Secondary School.
According to Lumba, Theresa was one of the most influential persons in his life, and he will forever be grateful to her.
Theresa died 28th February this year.
