Ata Kak’s Obaa Sima cassette was first self-released in Ghana in 1994 to little recognition or interest. Yet when American musicologist Brian Shimkovitz stumbled upon the tape at a street stall in Cape Coast, Ghana eight years later, it became the stimulus for him to launch the Awesome Tapes from Africa blog. The music on the recording—an amalgam of highlife, Twi language rap, funk, hip-hop, and electronica—traverses a pop music landscape that encapsulates international modes while reflecting contemporary Ghanaian music of the period. After more than a decade of searching, Brian finally tracked down the singer and released the LP officially in March 2015.NaeemBaltimore-hailing Naeem has spent much of the last decade stretching his creative legs in a variety of ways: he’s hit the road with artists ranging from the Avalanches and Bon Iver to Big Red Machine and Mouse on Mars, took part in a 37d03d residency in Berlin, and was a 2019 Music Resident at Pioneer Works. Through it all, he built the songs that make up Startisha, a record a half-decade in the making that featured Naeem pulling from creative circles all across the U.S. to craft a truly unique document of sound.Miho HatoriMiho Hatori is an artist/music producer/vocalist/improviser. Formerly of the legendary NYC group Cibo Matto. Her creation style is borderless. She makes visual and video installations and does art performances with music and sounds. Miho is originally from Tokyo but has been working and living in NYC for too many years.Special thanks to our Lead Sponsor, Hearst Corporation.
