Kojo Antwi yeah, “Mr. Music Man” himself is getting ready for probably one of the hardest goodbyes ever: saying farewell to his mom, Madam Mary Adwoa Nyamaa. The burial’s set for Saturday, July 11, 2025, out in Obo-Kwahu, Eastern Region. If you know anything about Ghanaian funerals, you know it’s not just a sad thing it’s a full-on celebration of life, and you can bet there’ll be tears and tunes in equal measure.
They’re holding the final rites at the Presbyterian School. I mean, knowing Kojo’s history, you can practically hear the music already—dude’s gonna turn it into a moving tribute, for real. Madam Nyamaa hit that legendary 100-year mark before passing away last November at Mpraeso Government Hospital. Wild, right? She lived through a whole century imagine the stories.
Kojo always talks about his mom as his muse. You remember that old jam, “Bre Bre Anowaa” from his ‘To Mother Africa’ album? Straight-up homage to her. No surprise he’ll be pouring his heart out on this day.
He’s child number four out of nine. Nine! That’s some big family vibes. With 13 solo albums under his belt and two more with Classique Vibes—the guy’s got more than enough music to channel all that emotion. Expect his tribute to hit deep, both for him and for anyone who’s ever loved their mama.
