Sikasso by Massuma, Nahawa Doumbia

Massuma unveils Sikasso, a magnetic Afro House cut that channels ancestral echoes into a contemporary pulse. Nahawa Doumbia rich vocals drift through the mix, carrying raw emotion into a hypnotic framework of rhythm and sound. Verdant percussion grounds the track—steady, organic, and full of motion. Around it, synth loops coil and unfurl, their undulations pulling the listener ever deeper. Harmonies entwine with vital instrumentals, shaping a soundscape that feels lush yet finely drawn. Each rhythm opens like a pathway, leading into an experience that feels tactile, immersive and impossible to resist.

One of THE main protagonists since day one, there is nobody else around, laying foundations on this level and pushing boundaries like MoBlack Records and its founder Mimmo Falcone (MoBlack). The Italian who lived in Ghana for ten years keeps surprising the RISE team as much as the scene with those cutting edge releases and a repertoire that shouts "classic" every second minute. by RISE -
