    Oakland, CA-based ensemble Orchestra Gold offers a kaleidoscope of sound deeply rooted in the Malian tradition while introducing a genre-bending nod to the future through their rare and artful fusion of African Psychedelic Rock. This original sound with a retro feel results from a decade-long collaboration between vocalist Mariam Diakite of Mali and Erich Huffaker of Oakland, CA. OG’s vibrant sound is spearheaded by the dynamic Mariam Diakite, whose raw, hypnotic vocals deliver heartfelt and thought-provoking lyrics in the highly symbolic Bambara language. While paying homage to Malian musical traditions, this fierce new sound thrives with heavy swinging rhythms, a funky fresh brass section and cosmic guitar licks. With the January 20, 2023, release of their third album: “Medicine,” this profoundly spiritual and dance-inducing ensemble continues their pursuit of spreading healing and community through the universal gift of music.

    "They are grounded in tradition and moving the conversation of African diasporic music forward. The album implores the listener to join in and get lost in the magic."

about

An OG interpretation of a dance groove you would hear at almost any ceremony in Mali where music is played. This rhythm is actually based on a Congolese rhythm that has become part of the Malian repertoire.
