Siraba - Komo Flly (with St Germain Remix) Vinyl Record

Malian and French duo Siraba drop the second single from their debut album on Secret Teachings, 'Komo Folly', backed by a rare remix from electronic music icon St Germain. A new alias from Malian hunter Boubacar Samake and Damien Vandesande, one half of French electronic band dOP, Siraba is a unique and expansive project set to merge ancestral music passed down by Malian hunters with electronic-leaning spheres with nods towards the future. Recently debuting on the label with their debut single 'Ngana Folly', the first single from their forthcoming album set to arrive in September this year, the pairing return to Damian Lazarus' alternative imprint Secret Teachings for their follow-up single, 'Komo Folly' - once again unveiling a tapestry of traditional and modern soundscapes as they deliver a tribute to Boubacar's father, Sibiri Samake. With Boubacar returning to the Ngoni and uncovering further lyrics and words in Bamabra, 'Komo Folly' builds from traditional Malian tones into an expansive trip through shimmering synths and crisp, organic percussion. It's a spellbinding and captivating trip into the minds of typically contrasting worlds while uniting the two effortlessly to provide and produce a slice of electronic excellence. A true pioneer of the electronic realm, Ludovic Navarre, known to many under his legendary St Germain alias, is an artist who needs little introduction, having been responsible for some of house and techno's most iconic productions across a 30-year career on labels such as F Communications and Blue Note. Turning his hand to the track and providing an extremely rare remix, the renowned talent brings his typically vibrant sound palette to the fore as he harnesses the original's vocals and weaves excellently worked drums, subtle snaking grooves and resonant chords effortlessly for typically classy interpretation while rubber-stamping the fascinating and exciting project in the process.
