Behind the scenes of Quata videoo shoot

Quata Budukusu shoots video with Uhuru in South Africa
Quata Budukusu has shot the video for his songs
that featured Uhuru in South Africa.

The video was shot and directed by a South African
from KaCube Creatives. Bakus Records artiste,
Quata Budukusu who has been in South Africa for a
little over a week recorded songs with Uhuru,
Mafikizolo and a top hip hop artiste from South
Africa. Quata Budukusu who is credited with the
invention of tongue-twisting rap in Ghana is ready
to release his Quantum Legacy album, and he is
leaving no stone unturned. His trip to South
Africa enabled him to record with Uhuru and
Mafikizolo which will form part of the album.

Quata also featured on a song by a Namibian-born
singer, Taylor Jaye.

According to Quata’s manager, Tengol who
happened to be on the South Africa trip with him,
the arrangement was already in place before they
left the shores of Ghana. That was made possible
due to the prominence Quata’s first single
released under the label “One Life to live”
made in South Africa. As a result, as soon as they
arrived in the rainbow nation-city of
Johannesburg, they rested for a couple of hours
and headed to the studios of Uhuru where a member
of the group, DJ Clap, produced the beat. Quata
without wasting time, “layed” the chorus and
the rest were “gravy.” Uhuru then added the
needed hooks and other singing bars making it an
instant hit in the studio.

Tengol went ahead to state that Quata recorded a
second song which featured Uhuru and Mafikizolo
and they are in the process of recording the third
song which will be hip hop. The two Kwaito tunes
have a feel of Ghanaian and the South African
style with a lot of African rhythms and elements
making it rich. Tengol went ahead to say that,
Bakus, who is the CEO of the record label is
working on getting Quata to feature a top American
hip-hop artiste to be included on the album.
Ghanaians should, therefore, brace themselves for
the best from Quata.

DJ Clap who is credited with the group's hit
single, Khona, performed by Mafikizolo, that made
waves in Ghana, stated that he has worked with a
myriad of artistes, but Quata’s style is unique.
I am very optimistic the songs recorded will
surely win the best collaboration in South Africa
and Ghana as well because it is “dope” says DJ
Clap.

The management of Quata Budukusu is thankful to
the management of Planet Radio TV (DSTV 328) for
their support. While in South Africa, Quata met
with Ghanaian radio and television personality,
Alex Kwesi Crassie, aka Turas, of Planet Radio TV.
Quata was interviewed on the Good Morning Africa,
60 Seconds and The Request Show. Quata won the
admiration of the staff and people of Planet Radio
TV with his rap. Quata also had the opportunity to
be interviewed by an event and promotion firm
which has started promoting his previous songs and
is also ready to help with the release and
promotion of the video and audio once they are
ready for the market.

The sky is not the limit for Quata Budukusu and
Bakus Records and Entertainment. Keep your fingers
crossed as we bring you exclusive news about Quata
and his plans for the future. Take a look at some
of the pictures from the video shoot.
