Ata Kak - at MOTH Club
Ghanaian pioneer Ata Kak fuses highlife, hip-hop and funk into a timeless sound, a sound that few appreciate, but the ones that do become zealots for his sound.
Ghanaian artist Ata Kak, born Yaw Atta-Owusu in 1960, has become a global phenomenon, celebrated for his electrifying fusion of highlife, hip-hop, and funk. Despite the "legend" status regularly accorded to him on the international festival circuit, the Kumasi-native remains a profoundly humble figure, deflecting such accolades with quiet modesty.
His music, a vibrant tapestry that weaves youthful energy with ancestral rhythms, possesses a timeless quality—at once fresh and nostalgic. This singular artistic vision has secured his position within the innermost circle of Ghanaian Afropop pioneers.
As the artist himself insists, "I’m humbled by the recognition I’ve received, but I don’t consider myself a legend. I’m just doing what I love."
