Orchestra Gold - Dakan - Limited Edition Cassette Tape (Chalkpit Exclusive)

£11.99

A sonic ritual. A spiritual journey. A psych-rock explosion.

Dakan, the bold new album from West African psych-rock visionaries Orchestra Gold, arrives in an exclusive Chalkpit Cassette Club limited edition — available only here.

Led by the spellbinding vocals of Malian singer Mariam Diakite, Dakan is a transcendent exploration of fate (dakan), devotion, and the raw human desire that shapes our paths.

Rooted in Malian tradition yet ignited by heavy, hypnotic psychedelic rock, the album fuses worlds with astonishing power:
West African spirituality meets electric, cosmic rock energy.

Described by critics as “where tradition and psychedelia collide,” Dakan showcases Diakite’s unmistakable voice — not just singing, but summoning — channeling her deep connection to the Baye Fall spiritual lineage.

Musically, Orchestra Gold push into their boldest territory yet:
🎺 Fat, roaring horn lines
🎸 Shimmering, lysergic guitar grooves
🥁 Dusty, hypnotic percussion
🔥 Psychedelic propulsion built for movement, meditation, and sweat

This is music that feels ceremonial — a place where sound, spirit, and rhythm collide.
