Hi, I’m Erich. I’m the guitarist, composer for the Afro Psych Rock band, Orchestra GOLD. I created the DARK, CINEMATIC and PSYCHEDELIC sound pack because I want your indie game trailer to feel like it has a AAA production with a world-class band creating custom music for it.

Welcome to a new kind of radio. This show goes out to the lovers of the tropical, warm, analog sounds of the revolutionary, independence-era Africa. Focusing on the 60’s-70’s big band orchestra Bambara and Mande music, each episode of MALI GOLD takes you on a trip through previously uncharted musical territory.

And, it’s more.  Much of the music here touches upon deep cultural and historical landmarks within Mande society. We also strive to bring you useful information about the cultural context of the music so that you actually learn while you listen. Ultimately, we aim to foster a deeper appreciation of the oldstyle aesthetic approach that characterized the golden age of music.

Mali Gold 1 - The Bamana Sound

Gende is an old Bamana folk song from Segou Mali. It was popularized by Tara Bouare, the celebrated roots vocalist of this region.

Gende Surambali

This episode of Mali Gold Radio: “From the Root up” shows how folklore is the root of much of the Mali’s 60’s-70’s era big band orchestra music.

Mali Gold 2 - From The Root Up

Oakland, CA-based ensemble Orchestra Gold offers a kaleidoscope of sound deeply rooted in the Malian tradition while introducing a genre-bending nod to the future through their rare and artful fusion of African Psychedelic Rock. This original sound with a retro feel results from a decade-long collaboration between Mariam Diakite of Mali and Erich Huffaker of Oakland, CA. The music of Orchestra Gold represents this powerful intersection, transcending borders and boundaries to be a force of healing within the community.
