Siraba’s debut single “Ngana Fôlly” on Damian Lazarus’ Secret Teachings imprint is a captivating blend of traditional Wassoulou sounds from Mali and the electronic music realm.

Rooted in the spiritual traditions of the master hunters, the hypnotic production combines Boubacar’s soulful Ngoni playing with mesmerizing vocals in Bambara. The resonant and rich composition weaves organic textures, warping synths, and sweeping electronics, capturing the magical essence of Mali. Philou Louzolo’s remix showcases stripped-back percussion and soaring synths, while Peaking Lights takes listeners on an eight-minute journey through vibrant guitar riffs and off-kilter melodies. Siraba’s unique project represents a musical brotherhood and spiritual resistance, bridging justice, love, and respect for a transcendent experience.

“Ngana Fôlly” drops on June 2nd, 2023, paving the way for their eagerly awaited debut album in September.
