Hisfavorite part of performing is when thecrowd sings along, creating harmony andoneness between all in attendance.Though his father is from a royal family,Dawuni downplays his heritage. His broth -er is now chief, like their father was, yetDawuni is known more in Ghana for hismusic than his lineage. And, like his father,Dawuni enjoys cooking, and sharing hisofferings with friends and family.Equally at home in the Palisades andGhana, where he cannot walk down thestreet without being recognized, Dawuni exudeslove. He has lived here for over 15 yearswith his wife, Cary Sullivan, whom he metat the University of Ghana in the late 1990s(she grew up in the Palisades). Their daughter,Safiya, is in sixth grade at a local school.On a street corner near the Village Green,a friend driving by yells excitedly when hesees Dawuni, and talks about getting together.And with that, the internationallyrenowned musician breaks into a biggersmile than the one he was already wearing.“It’s been a beautiful journey in asense,” Dawuni says. “I just keep learningand learning.”Dawuni will be performing at CaliforniaPlaza in Downtown Los Angeles on Saturday,August 1 as part of the Grand Performancesseries.
