Uncle Ears

You are instantly in a strange new place and time as the opening guitar riffs of Orchestra Gold’s “Djama” twist and wind into your brain.

It’s a rare language of music—featuring a rare language. What year is this? Do years even matter in this place? We at a meeting of souls where people lose shape and spirits gain power.

“Djama” is cool. It’s also hot. For English-language listeners it is an invitation to let go of your world sensibilities and let music, rhythm, beats, haunting vocals and psychedelic guitar transport your soul.

Spearheaded by the dynamic Mariam Diakite, whose lyrics are delivered in the highly symbolic Bambara language and supported by heavy swinging rhythms, a funky fresh brass section, and cosmic guitar licks, OG is a testament to transcendence made possible when worlds collide only to arrive at common ground.

We are all around an eternal mystical campfire.

Let your being be moved.
