[Album] Kid Anansi - "Kid Anansi"

Kid Anansi releases self-titled debut album on Aquamarine Records

Kid Anansi, with his debut album released on September 23rd under Aquamarine Records, isn’t just entering the music scene; he’s redefining it. Drawing from his rich British-Ghanaian heritage and inspired by the trickster god Anansi, his album combines personal growth, cultural commentary, and unbridled whimsy.

His journey into spoken word was propelled by his appearance on the BAFTA-winning show “Life & Rhyme,” where he learned to take his poetry seriously, blending it with comedy. His performances at Glastonbury, Latitude, and Tramlines Festival, among others, show a man whose artistry transcends borders, much like the spider god from whom he takes his name.

Each track on “Kid Anansi” is a narrative thread, exploring the complexities of identity in a world that often tries to define it for him. His work is a dance between cultures, a defiance of societal labels, and a celebration of his unique story.

Beyond the stage, Kid Anansi is a community builder, leading workshops that empower children with writing and performance skills, fostering confidence through creativity. His approach? A mix of Zack Fox’s humor and the profound storytelling of West African griots makes him a modern-day storyteller with a twist.

His album isn’t just music; it’s a cultural dialogue, a humorous yet insightful look at what it means to be Black in Britain, told with a charm that’s all his own. Kid Anansi‘s debut is his manifesto, his way of saying, “This is me, and this is us.”

As he moves forward, Kid Anansi’s debut is not just a beginning but a promise of more stories, laughter, and empowerment. There’s space for everyone in his web of words, making his debut not just a release but a revelation.
