Ata Kaks cassette Obaa Sima fell on deaf ears when it was self-released in Ghana and Canada in 1994. The music on the recording-an amalgam of highlife, Twi-language rap, funk and disco-is presented with the passion of a Prince record and the DIY-bedroom-recording lo-fi charm of early Chicago house music. The astute self-taught song craft and visionary blend of sounds and rhythms has made the album a left-field cult favorite among adventurous listeners worldwide.
