The Ghanaian rapper-singer released a tape quietly in 1994 only to be rediscovered online in 2006 as the pre-streaming blog-fueled online music collector movement was in full swing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wildly addictive confluence of lo-fi house with earnestly-rendered, full-throated Burger Highlife captured the hearts of music heads around the globe in the mid-2000s. With the help of his London-based band, Ata Kak played shows worldwide and graced enormous stages performing to thousands of fans. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe seven songs on \u003cem\u003eObaa Sima\u003c\/em\u003e have delighted and confounded listeners since it appeared as the inaugural post on the Awesome Tapes From Africa blog. A well-documented years-long search for the singer concluded with a reissue in 2015.

The original DAT tape was moldy and disintegrating. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, after years of searching for the highest quality source cassette, Ata Kak is making available the \u003cem\u003eObaa Sima\u003c\/em\u003e Anniversary Remaster. We can finally hear the now-legendary left-field dance floor classic in glistening-clear audio for the first time\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AWESOME TAPES OF AFRICA","offers":[{"title":"Splatter LP + DVD","offer_id":56298105700616,"sku":"REL-02465","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/6723\/1240\/files\/8b75bc71f2b95770d524a94b3d1b95c9.jpg?v=1775635848","url":"https:\/\/www.relevantrecordcafe.co.uk\/products\/ata-kak-obaa-sima-anniversary-edition","provider":"Relevant Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
