One of East Africa’s most prodigious talents, the hotly-tipped singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joshua Baraka, championed this year by Spotify RADAR Africa, is set to drop his new mixtape RECESS via MOVES Recordings on December 6th.
The seven-track tape spans R&B, Afropop, and more, featuring Kenyan singer Bensoul (400k+ monthly listeners) and production by the acclaimed P Priime, known for his work with Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Fireboy DML. P Priime draws on iconic 90s R&B beats, blending them with Baraka’s afro-soul style to create a fresh, innovative sound on RECESS.
The artwork reflects the multi-faceted nature of Joshua Baraka AKA B’RAKA’s artistry. Inspired by his travels this year to cities like London, Amsterdam, Lagos, Nairobi, and his home city Kampala, B’Raka fuses diverse sonic elements with his R&B roots to produce an eclectic yet succinct mixtape that highlights his musical progression and songwriting talents.
