“...we’re throwing a special celebration for the release of our latest album, “DAKAN” — a tour de force that bridges psychedelic rock with the traditions of mali in a way you’ve never quite heard before.”

Saturday, October 18th
2–6pm (come right after #nokings)
7th West
1255 7th St
Oakland, CA
🔅 
outdoors, all-ages

“DAKAN” dives deep into psychedelia. it’ll also rock your pants off, keep you dancing ‘til sunrise. cosmic guitars. gritty, beautiful horn lines. infectious grooves. and mariam channeling something raw and ancient from deep within the human spirit.

∴
… and — it’s about more than music.
this record champions a world where variety isn’t just the spice of life — it’s the source of our strength.
∴
it’s about what happens when different identities converge with shared purpose. when we create a space where belonging isn't theoretical — it’s felt in your body.

this event is an invitation to experience that world.
just for a day.
