The two musicians began their friendship in the 1980s. During this time, Nana Acheampong inspired Lumba to create highlife music, leading to the formation of the “Lumba Brothers.”

In 1989, they finally released their debut project titled Yɛɛyɛ Aka Akwantuo Mu with the support of Daddy Lumba’s first wife, Akosua Serwaa.
