"Dakan” explores twin themes of destiny and passion, with Mariam’s lyrics navigating the dance between fate and free will. Rooted in her Baye Fall faith—a mystical West African Islamic tradition that values direct experience of the divine—her words carry spiritual weight. With deep grooves, cosmic guitar licks, and a punchy horn section, Orchestra Gold’s bridges between psychedelic rock and Malian musical traditions.
