Medicine LP out now!
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 January 2023 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.
“...pure fire... I want to see this band so bad”
-- BOB BOILEN, HOST of ALL SONGS CONSIDERED / NPR TINY DESK
“The new single ‘Keleya’ by African psychedelic rock group Orchestra Gold hits you with a certain level of profundity, cosmic swirl, and Fela-like groove. Mariam Diakite delivers raw, mesmerizing vocals. Attacking saxophone charts, measured bass lines, and galvanic meter serve as the ideal foundation for expanding guitar lines that squall through. In a nutshell, it’s dope.”
THE VAULT
All our Music, Videos, and other Content in ONE place…
WHAT IS THE VAULT?
Imagine a constant conversation between us and you over music.
Similar to Patreon, the VAULT is housed on a platform where we can connect with YOU over our music, and our content.
It’s ALL there: music, videos, demos, promo video clips, song lyrics, and lots of other random stuff too. Having a direct channel to you means we can give you more content.
We’re going to be releasing all of our music through here first.
“They are grounded in tradition and moving the conversation of African diasporic music forward. The album {Medicine} implores the listener to join in and get lost in the magic.”
