Moh Kouyate is a Guinean guitarist/singer/songwriter descending from a line of griots (jalis) in West Africa. As listeners heard in the Afropop Worldwide program Global Griots in France, he has lived in Paris since 2006, collaborating with a wide range of artists from genres far outside his traditional art. In this episode, Banning Eyre speaks with Moh about his adventurous life, and particularly, his ground-breaking, new acoustic album, Mokhôya. Also, fellow Guinean artist Natu Camara gives a shoutout about her upcoming visit to Camp Afropop, May 28-31, 2024 near Woodstock, New York.

For the latest episode of Kuboraum's Digital Sound Residency, Paris-based DJ and producer Bambounou links up with Malian rapper Sadandsolo for 'Sweet Sixteen', balancing melodic verses over stripped-back beats that sit between electronic experimentation and rap.

Born and raised in Paris, with Malian and Polish heritage, Bambounou (Jérémy Guindo de Montalembert) emerged in the early 2010s as one of the leading voices of a new French electronic scene, as part of the YounGunZ and ClekClekBoom collectives. He cut his teeth behind the decks at iconic venues like Social Club and Concrete, sculpting a fluid, unruly sonic language: grounded in the discipline of hypnotic house, fractured by IDM-like rhythmic disjunctions, and driven by a constant sense of tension. 

From his early releases on 50Weapons (Modeselektor’s imprint) to more conceptual compositions for AD93 (fka Whities, founded by Nic Tasker), he’s refined a style where groove continually slips just out of reach — creating friction without losing momentum. 

With BAMBE, his own imprint launched in 2021, he pushes this exploration to its core: stripped-back, percussive, and highly tactile club music. Whether solo (Cascade, The Life of a Touring DJ) or in close collaborations with Bruce (Final Conference) and Priori (C.R.U.S.H.), each release reflects a deep attention to detail and a desire to open rhythm up — to probe its fissures. 
His remixes follow the same instinct for divergence, bending tracks by Moby or Sampha to reveal unexpected textures and hidden reliefs. As a DJ, that same sensitivity to surprise and balance runs through his sets: a sinuous path through organic house, electronic experiments, and percussive ruptures — inviting both deep listening and physical surrender. 
With Levantarse, his latest solo project, Bambounou opens a new, prolific chapter, where pulse becomes a lens for exploring fine-grained textures and shifting forms. A music that moves forward without settling, attentive to both vertigo and nuance.

This same restless curiosity shapes his collaboration with Sadandsolo — an artist whose own journey crosses continents and cultures. Born Raoul Carrer, Sadandsolo was raised between Mali, Benin, Senegal, and South Africa before settling in Europe. He carries with him a mosaic of influences and memories, which inform a deeply personal, genre-fluid voice.

His latest single, 2006 till infinity, draws from that itinerant youth and paints a vivid portrait of a Gen Z kid discovering music through cracked software, LimeWire downloads, and YouTube rabbit holes. It’s the story of a digital native finding solace — and a sense of self — in music. 
A turning point: “YouTube changed my life / I watched the videos, I wanted to change clothes.”

Sadandsolo is part of a new wave of artists blending introspection with presence, memory with movement. Together, he and Bambounou craft a sound that bridges physical and emotional landscapes, while remaining sharply attuned to the moment.

'Sweet Sixteen' will be available to download by subscribing to Kuboraum Berlin News.

Mastering by Giuseppe Tillieci at EnissLab.
