Ras Kuuku is out with ‘Atia’, a vocal tribute to Burger Highlife
Ras Kuuku is doing everything possible to prove his worth as a lead male vocalist.
His latest release “Atia” portrays him as one of the best mainstream male vocalists.
According to Ras Kuuku, the urbanized form of Highlife, which many call ‘Burger Highlife’ seems to be going extinct because many have switched completely to Afrobeats and neglecting that side of the Ghanaian sound which graced many homes and speakers in the 1990s era.
Against his backdrop he has decided to steps in the booth to throw some spotlight on the genre with ‘Atia’.
‘Atia’ is a very clean melodic song by the Dome-based Rasta Man which rides along the tale of love; wooing a female admirer with his swooning vocals and originality as a Ghanaian Act.
The song is OUT NOW on All Major Digital Streaming Platforms.

History of Burger Highlife:
Ghanaians in Germany created a secular style of Highlife that combined the genre with funk, disco, and synth-pop. It is believed it was called ‘Burger Highlife’ because the largest communities of Ghanaians resided in Hamburg. The music became associated with migrants who would travel between Germany and Ghana.
Iconic Highlife Musician, George Darko, was known as the “King of Burger Highlife”. The exceptionally talented guitarist and vocalist revolutionized Highlife music and produced hit songs such as ‘Akoo Te Brofo,’ ‘Money Palaver,’ ‘Oseeyie,’ and ‘Odo Colour’ — he sadly passed away in 2024.
