Joshua Baraka is back with Yoyo, a lively new single that offers the first taste of his forthcoming “Recess Vol. 2″ EP.
The release comes after an eventful period for the Ugandan singer, who recently took his music to audiences across Europe and Australia with sold-out shows while also appearing on the Afro Nation stage.
Baraka takes full creative control on Yoyo, producing the track himself and drawing inspiration from traditional Ugandan music.
He combines those cultural elements with guitar-led instrumentation and a contemporary pop approach, creating a sound that feels rooted yet easy to connect with beyond East Africa.
The result is an upbeat record that celebrates where Baraka comes from without sounding stuck in the past.
Traditional influences and modern melodies sit comfortably together, giving Yoyo the feel of a song designed to travel while keeping its identity intact.
With “Recess Vol. 2” on the way and performances lined up across Uganda and Kenya, Joshua Baraka is continuing to build an increasingly international profile. Through it all, he remains committed to placing his Ugandan roots at the heart of his sound.
