Dakan [LP]

Orchestra Gold - Dakan [LP]

"With their boldest release to date, Orchestra Gold unveils Dakan -- a transcendent new album exploring the intertwined forces of destiny and passion. Guided by the visionary vocals of Malian singer Mariam Diakité, Dakan is a sonic and spiritual journey: rooted in tradition, driven by intuition, and lit ablaze with psychedelic energy. Mariam's lyrics draw deeply from her devotion to the baye fall tradition -- a mystical branch of West African Sufism that favors direct experience of the divine over doctrine. Her voice doesn't just sing -- it 'channels.' Psychedelic rock collides with Malian soul in a sonic ritual where fate dances with free will."
