Nana George Darko, a Ghanaian musician legend described as the King of Burger Highlife and Tufuhene of Akropong, is reported dead.
This sad news happened on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, and it is unclear what caused the death of the ‘Akoo te Brofo’ hitmaker.

The late musician, known for his skills as a guitarist, vocalist, composer, and songwriter, held the title of Tufuhene of Akropong, bearing the stool name Nana Apem Darko I.
His demise comes shortly after the loss of another legendary Highlife musician, Kwabena Kwakye Kabobo, also known as K.K. Kabobo, who passed away a few days earlier.
