Deltas
Deltas embarked on a journey from the banks of the Loire river (Gallic name Liger) to the Niger delta, blending jazz, folk, blues and traditional Bambara singing into a unique meandering river of thoughts and sounds. In 2016 Deltas released their album 'Ligerian Blues" at Budamusique.
Muamma
debut Muamma, meaning enigma or mystery, perfectly describes the origins of this Netherlands-based band.
Muamma's music spans multiple genres, from deeply traditional Turkish folk to danceable grooves, psychedelic rock and seductive jazz improvisations. Muamma has released their debut album 'Dereboyu Kavaklar' on 14 November 2025.
Nerami
NERAMI is a bittersweet collision between the ancestral blues of Mali and Western rock’n’roll/boogie. Blending traditional African and contemporary instruments, singing in Bambara and English, the group offers, like an ebony Manneken Pis, a bridge between two worlds, two cultures.
A bit like the Schelde flowing into the Niger River, or vice versa.
Saly Kouyaté
Raised in the rich tradition of the Kouyaté griot family, Sali has a natural talent for singing. She has released her first single 'Mali Kelen' which conveys a message of peace and unity.
Her second single 'Gnogon Djougouya' has been released in October 2025.
March 2026 saw the release of Saly's debut album Mali Kelen.
