Medicine by Orchestra Gold
OG’s vibrant sound is spearheaded by the dynamic
Mariam Diakite, whose raw, hypnotic vocals deliver
heartfelt and thought-provoking lyrics in the highly symbolic
Bambara language. While paying homage to Malian
musical traditions, this fierce new sound thrives with heavy
swinging rhythms, a funky fresh brass section, and cosmic
guitar licks. With the release of their third album, Medicine, this profoundly spiritual and dance-inducing ensemble continues their pursuit of spreading healing and community through the universal gift of music.

Orchestra Gold is a spell cast in rhythm and reverie. Psychedelic rock collides with Malian soul in a sonic ritual where fate dances with free will. Guitars shimmer like heatwaves. Horns speak in tongues. Grooves pull you sideways through time. It’s spiritual. It’s sweaty. It’s a portal. Step in.
