DJI Remixes by Alom Music
Building Bridges: Tradition Meets Modernity
Issiaka Dembele´s remix album is a celebration of unity—where the ancestral rhythms of Mandé tradition meet the forward-thinking innovation of electronic music. Rooted in Issiaka’s griot heritage from Burkina Faso, this project honors centuries of storytelling and cultural connection while reimagining these sounds for a modern global audience.
This album wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible dedication and creativity of the electronic producers who joined the ALOM family to bring this vision to life. These talented artists, coming from diverse Western cultures and perspectives, worked to weave their unique styles into Issiaka’s music. Each track reflects not only their technical skill but their respect for the cultural roots of the original compositions.
More than just a collection of remixes, this project symbolizes the power of collaboration and the beauty of merging traditions with contemporary soundscapes. It’s a bridge between worlds, blending Issiaka’s mastery of instruments like the balafon and kora with the cutting-edge energy of electronic production. Together, these artists have created something that’s deeply meaningful—a testament to the power of connection, teamwork, and shared purpose.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to every producer who contributed their time, passion, and vision to this album. This was not just a creative endeavor; it was a long and patient process, driven by a shared commitment to honor the art, the culture, and the connections that music can create.
This album is for those who believe in the transformative power of collaboration, the celebration of diversity, and the timeless bond between tradition and modernity.
