Kôngô (Writing Room Session)

Private: Siraba

Siraba is the boundary-breaking duo of Malian donso hunter-musician Boubacar Samake and French producer Damien Vandesande. Fusing ancient ceremonial songs with immersive electronic soundscapes, their music channels spiritual tradition through a modern lens. Grounded in ancestral power yet built for today’s world, Siraba creates a bold, hypnotic sound where the sacred meets the contemporary.
