The Ghanaian music scene has blessed the world with timeless talent, producing artistes whose creativity shaped generations. Sadly, many of these voices were silenced too soon, leaving behind unforgettable songs that continue to live on.
Here are some iconic tracks created by artistes who are no longer with us:
1. Ebony Reigns & Rudebwoy Ranking – “Haters Anthem”
This fiery collaboration dominated the airwaves seven years ago, raising hopes for more pairings between the two. Those hopes were cut short when Ebony died in a road accident on February 8, 2018. Her collaborator, Rudebwoy Ranking, also passed away after a brief illness on April 24, 2024.
2. Awurama Badu & Omanhene Pozoh – “Medofo Adaada Me”
A classic highlife gem that still stirs hearts. Awurama Badu, a pioneer of female highlife, died on October 26, 2017, while Omanhene Pozoh passed a year earlier on September 21, 2016.
3. Daasebre Dwamena & Castro – “Hwe Sɛsɛi Ne Ahwenie”

4. Dada KD & Kofi B – “Aseɛ Agorɔ”
Known for their powerful storytelling, the duo created a soulful highlife experience. Kofi B died on February 2, 2020, and Dada KD followed in 2025 after battling a long illness.
5. Okyeame Kojo Kumi & Terry Bonchaka – “Asem Bɛn Nie” (Enye Menia)

Though their lives were cut short, the music they left behind continues to echo across Ghana and beyond. Their legacy remains a powerful reminder that true artistry never dies.
