Highlife heavyweights Daddy Lumba a.k.a Charles Kwadjo Fosu and Nana Ernest Acheampong are billed to stage a "Heaven on earth" performance at the Accra International Conference Centre on December 29 to raise funds for Ghanaian sportsmen for next year's Olympic Games slated for Beijing .

Part of the Proceeds of the show dubbed "United for peace concert" will go to the Ghana Olympic Committee(GOC) sponsorship campaign.

The first vice president GOC Mr Frank Appiah revealed that the Ghana 2008 tournament has overshadowed events and believes falling on the two Burgar highlife giants will be appropriate to realize GOC's targeted $3million dollars to cater for the Beijing 2008 budget.

The two musicians who went their separate ways after their first hit album (Ye ya aka akwantuom) in the late '80's promised their fans a high time treat in the forthcoming showpiece.

"We don't want to say much but it will be a Heaven on Earth show," Lumber said at a press conference in Accra yesterday.

The two gave the assurance that they are working around the clock to come out with an album next year.
