Baye Ass N’Diaye (Reprise)
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.**
"This song is an homage to my teacher in the Baye Fall tradition, Baye ass n’diaye. He taught me that religion must be rooted in the direct experience of the divine. To truly love God, we must experience God." -Mariam Diakite, singer
Psychedelic rock collides with Malian soul in a sonic ritual where fate dances with free will.
A bridge between worlds: malian traditional music (60's+70's) and heavy, hypnotic psychedelic rock.
