His music echoes rich tapestries of culture, inspired by ten years of calling Ghana home and seeing the world with deeper appreciation. It was in Ghana that Mimmo was reborn, touched by the Twi spirit of Mo’, but ever a curious artist with a penchant for a diverse range of music, MoBlack always cruises the axis between past, present, and future, letting the sacred spaces between and within House, Electronic, Melodic, and Techno, invigorate his craft.
