Ata Kak - Time Bomb

After Brian Shimkovitz of Awesome Tapes From Africa discovered the energetic, psychedelic music of Ghanaian musician Ata Kak, his tunes quickly became sleeper hits around the world, decades after their original release.

This was all unbeknownst to the artist himself - his music was even unknown to those living in his hometown in Ghana. Years of tireless searching ensued, and eventually the Los Angeles-based label owner found a lead.

Ata Kak - Time Bomb follows the search that Shimkovitz undertook as well as the visit to Ghana that took place once he found him. It is a celebration of great tunes and how, when it hits the right audience at the right time, music can touch people in a way that you never imagined.
