Ata Kak’s rise as cult phenomenon shows us the power of Doing It Yourself – how it can cultivate some completely original pop music. 

Yaw Atta-Owusu knew he liked reggae music, he liked funk, he liked Ghanaian high life music, and he liked Grandmaster Flash. But why pick just one? With the necessary recording equipment, his signature Twi flow and an unblemished zest for life, Ata Kak’s legendary LP Obaa Sima became a global grassroots success. And we're still dancing feverishly to its tunes today.
