Obeka

Bermuda born musician and visual designer Jahday Ford aka Obeka transitioned into the Manchester music scene in 2016 building a native sound and rhythm distinct to his homeland. The Me Gusta Collective Co-Founder blends native styles from Pan-African, Caribbean and South American origins that became essential for manifesting polyrhythmic electronic beats and tempos with a mix of live and software based drum recording. Obeka has ventured his sound in a multitude of UK cities and beyond the shores in Bologna, Brussels, Cuba, Lisbon and Munich based events. Fresh off his first year as a new resident with Ghana based station Oroko Radio, Obeka has dived into the airwaves of BBC Radio, Rinse FM, Rinse France, NTS Radio and most recently Berlin based community radio Refuge Worldwide.
