GOURNA KÖD
KÖD
An Afrofuturistic take on Chadian Gourna.
This is a first. The Massa people - proudly known as “bananaa” - have been dismissed as primitive even in Chad, their own country. But they stand tall as the fierce guardians of ancient traditions, the tribe that has resisted the homogenizing tide of globalization like no other.
The Gourna is the pulse of Massa warriors, and i wanted to transform it into a revolution for modern music.
This track is an opportunity to shine a spotlight on this tribe, to turn their ancestral beat into the sound of the subregion. By injecting electro into something ancient, I’m bringing fresh swagger to timeless heritage - this is about to explode across the Chadian music scene. (A similar rhythm pulses through Cameroon too.)
This track is a tribute to the sentinels of tradition - a thunderous thank you, a deep bow of respect to those who keep the flame alive.
MAACHI WÉNE
Featuring NISSA SEYCH
Maachi Wene, arabic for where I am going ? Featuring Nissa Seych, a song for the wanderer who discovers they’ve become a stranger in their own story and chooses to rewrite it elsewhere.
UNTOLD STORIES
Featuring Djely Tapa
An Afrofuturistic take on a crossover from Madingue Rhythm and Toubou.
The song is an extension of a long-standing collaboration with well-known Malian griotte Djely Tapa. I brought her the Toubou rhythm, to find out it is also a Mandingue rhythm! Mini accents reflect their diversity and variations, but the same exact structure.
UNTOLD STORIES at the rhythmic level is the meeting of two twin rhythms, and their evolution in two tribes separated by geography but united by pulse. This particular rhythm is also present in southern Morocco and Tunisia. When Toubou people hear this track, they’ll instantly recognize their ancestral beat - then get hit with the thrilling surprise of Djely Tapa’s Mandingue voice floating perfectly over it, like it was always meant to be there. It is an invitation to explore how Mandingue culture is extended to Chad.
The storytelling is inspired by a precious moment with my children, hungry for tales that have never been captured, never recorded. This untold stories will be part of the treasures of the future because what will be rare, will be the stories never told, never spoken. This is us catching them before they’re gone.
KAG DESS
KÖD
An Afrofuturistic take on Chadian Nganja.
Nganja is a sacred rhythm from the initiation ceremonies of southern Chad. Access to this rhythm is restricted, it carries power that not everyone is prepared to wield. During initiation, Nganja functions as a catalyst, awakening dormant abilities within the initiate: the power to command natural elements, to stop wind, to suspend rain.
Nganja is the sound of ultimate accountability.
With the blessings of traditional initiates, Afrotronix has carried Nganja into the electronic realm.“Kag Dess” is a sonic reminder of our full authority over ourselves, over our circumstances, over the forces that seek to contain us. This is initiation as sound. This is power, electrified.
HIMINI
KÖD
An Afrofuturistic take on Kidi Gourane.
From upcoming album KÖD, here is Himini, a Gourane adventure in Northern Chad powered by Electronique machinery.
This song is the proof that the most futuristic sound is also the oldest.
By defining tribal electronic music, Afrotronix positions himself as an avant-garde artist on the continent. His approach, in which he manages to teach machines the languages and codes of the ancients, allows him not simply to use samples but to bend digital structures so that they truly capture the specificity of these original rhythms.
MALEMBÉ
SONO IN TERAPIA
Featuring HENDRY MASSAMBA
An Afrofuturistic take on Soukouss.
Taking popular African rhythms, here soukous which has been the most popular rhythm on the African continent since independence and which has evolved a lot, with Kofi and Fally and now propose this new take.
Artistically it is a challenge, a new impetus for the future of soukous.
I TEL IRÉ
Featuring MAGSO
An Afrofuturistic take on Haitian Konpa.
A tender confession to the complice woman who walks in daylight and yet cannot uproot the tree of a love planted deeper than memory. Haitian Konpa reinvented make this electronic piece a real innovation in its genre.
