Sta.ka.to is an Afro-House, rhythm and funk which has been skillfully blended in Kato Change’s new single; “Sta.Ka.To.”
Kato’s charming guitar tunes fuse with Lisa Noah’s silky voice, creating an enchanting sound that reverberates through the soul. The single is enriched by the masterpieces of music producer Jaaz Odongo, and the videography of Magiq Lens.
Diversity is well represented in the video, which is centered on Kato’s trademark hat. People of different backgrounds wear the hat, which is shared and experienced in a similar way to music.
The song leaves you to question what brilliant talent, freedom and unity cannot achieve.
