Joshua Baraka's single 'Yoyo'

Ugandan artist Joshua Baraka has released a new single, “Yoyo”, ahead of his upcoming “Recess” Vol. 2 EP.

The entirely self-produced track draws on traditional Ugandan music and shapes those influences into a modern, guitar-led sound. It combines East African roots with contemporary pop and global influences. The release follows sold-out performances across Europe and Australia and an appearance on the Afro Nation stage.

Baraka has upcoming live dates scheduled in Uganda and Kenya.
