About This Event

Ghanaian musical innovator Ata Kak is set to grace the stage at Cluny 2 in Newcastle on Sunday 23 August. Known for his unique sound, which masterfully fuses highlife, hip-hop, and funk elements, Kak's seminal album Obaa Sima is a testament to his distinctive artistry. Originally released on cassette in the early 1990s, the album's compelling rhythms and infectious melodies lay dormant for decades before experiencing a significant resurgence in popularity. This retrospective appreciation has propelled Kak's work to a wider audience, culminating in this highly anticipated live performance. The evening's proceedings are scheduled to commence at 6:30pm, offering attendees a chance to experience the vibrant energy of Obaa Sima and other tracks live. Further information regarding ticket prices and availability can be found on the venue's official website.
