Featuring the soaring vocals of Mali-born Mariam Diakite, the Oakland-based Orchestra Gold brings a kaleidoscope of sound rooted in the traditions of West Africa, adding pulse-raising horns, cosmic guitar, and powerful rhythms to build the genre-bending future of African Psychedelic Rock.

Formed a decade ago by Diakite and guitarist Erich Huffaker, the group had its spark in Huffaker’s mind during his 2006 trip to Mali when he met Diakite through master drummer Matche Traore.
