Takoradi’s vibrant music scene continues flourishing as Brapurple, one of the city’s rising stars, drops his highly anticipated single, “Mr. Right,” featuring the soulful vocals of Manchester’s own Sarah Angel. This cross-continental collaboration was recorded two years ago during the Asabaako Music Residency, an initiative sponsored by the British Council to blend Manchester and Takoradi’s rich musical traditions.
A Product of Cultural Exchange
The Asabaako Music Residency was a unique program designed to foster creative exchange between artists from different cultures. The residency brought together talents from Manchester’s bustling streets and Takoradi’s culturally rich environment. Among the Manchester representatives were Sarah Angel, known for her powerful voice and genre-blending style, and Scapa, a producer with a knack for innovative beats.
