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.

Ata Kak is the Ghanaian artist behind the cult classic Obaa Sima. Born Yaw Atta-Owusu in Kumasi, he moved through Germany and Canada, developing his sound using basic home equipment and sheer determination. Initially released as a DIY cassette, Obaa Sima fused Twi rap with lo-fi beats and Afro-futuristic flair.

🎤 Performer
A Ghanaian highlife singer gone horribly right, Ata Kak is a visionary. He spits serious rhymes, waxes romantic, and issues lo-fi digital quick-shrieks. Home-made funky yet spooky, like a warped Prince protege from Africa by way of 1986 Chicago.
