Obaa Sima (Anniversary Remaster - Deluxe Edition) - Vinyle Splatter

Description

No musical internet success story is more surprising than that of Ata Kak. The Ghanaian rapper-singer released his cassette Obaa Sima in 1994, which remained almost unknown before being rediscovered online in 2006, at the dawn of the pre-streaming era and the blog-fueled music collector movement. His unique blend of lo-fi house and Burger Highlife quickly captivated music lovers worldwide. The seven tracks of Obaa Sima, the inaugural release of the Awesome Tapes From Africa blog, fascinated and baffled listeners for years. A 2015 re-release helped find Ata Kak and bring him to the stage with his London-based band, but the sound quality was limited by the condition of the original DAT tape. Today, the Obaa Sima Anniversary Remaster finally offers crystal-clear sound, the result of a meticulous search for the best cassette copy. The deluxe edition includes a splatter vinyl and an unreleased documentary DVD, offering old and new fans the chance to rediscover this legendary dancefloor classic in all its glory. Splatter vinyl edition.
