Ata Kak

Ata Kak, the Ghanaian pop enigma whose highlife-hip-hop-funk wizardry electrified us on his last visit to Leeds, remains incredulous at the label “legend”—despite it being flung at him regularly. A pioneer of Afropop, Ata Kak crafts a radical synthesis that veered between West African tradition and the electronic currents of the era that we're incredibly lucky to be hosting once again this Autumn.
