Voodoo Child by Gako

In his debut album release, artist producer GAKO introduces his signature style comprised of syncopated rhythms, electronic glitches, vocal sampling and wickedly cool beats. Influenced by traditional be-bop jazz, old school hip-hop and ‘90s R&B, GAKO uses a variety of instruments in his creations, including keyboard, bass, guitar and electronic instruments, sans computers. The result is a pulsating musical mosaic that screams of today while honoring great music of the past.

Gako, real name Patrick Ngako, is a lo-fi artist based in Southern California.

Born in NYC and raised in Cameroon, he learned piano on his own at the age of 10. As a teenager, Gako started beat boxing and creating instrumentals for singers and rappers of the Yaounde music scene.

Back to the US, he crafts his sound, filled with acid-jazzy retro vibes, poignant lyricism, and bouncy rhythms.
