KODA: A Tribute to a Gospel Music Icon

In a heart-wrenching moment for Ghana’s music community, we bid farewell to the legendary gospel musician, Kofi Owusu Dua Anto, popularly known as KODA. His soulful melodies, unwavering faith, and profound impact on the genre have left an indelible mark.

Born in the coastal city of Takoradi, KODA’s musical journey began early. His passion for music transcended boundaries, and he fearlessly explored various genres. However, it was gospel music that captured his heart. With a voice that could move mountains and lyrics that touched souls, KODA became a beacon of hope.

KODA wasn’t content with just singing; he was a trailblazing producer. His studio wizardry elevated gospel music to new heights. Collaborating with luminaries like the late Danny Nettey, Pastor Joe Beechem, Nii Okai, and Eugene Zuta, KODA reshaped the landscape of gospel music. His commitment to excellence set the bar high for aspiring artists.

KODA’s discography is a treasure trove of spiritual gems. His sixth vocal album, “Keteke,” showcased his lyrical prowess. Songs like “Nkwaa” and “Adooso” transcended borders, touching hearts across Africa and beyond. These anthems of hope and worship continue to resonate, reminding us of KODA’s enduring legacy.

KODA’s music wasn’t mere entertainment; it was an invitation to worship. Whether on stage or behind the scenes, he led listeners into intimate encounters with the Divine. His authenticity and reverence were palpable, drawing people closer to God.

As we mourn the loss of this musical luminary, let us celebrate KODA’s life—a life dedicated to uplifting souls through melodies that echoed eternity. His legacy lives on, inspiring generations to come. Farewell, KODA. Your music will forever echo in our hearts.
