about

On the heels of the band’s busiest and most successful year, Barika is pushing the boundaries of the high energy, dubbed-out, danceable sounds they are known for. Layering samples and electronic elements into the mix has inspired new excitement from the band’s members and audience. From that energy, studio album number four, titled “A Simple Light”, took form.

The intention for the new record has been to mix the band’s rhythmic, melodic and atmospheric sensibilities with new sounds and invite some friends to collaborate. At the core, and true to form, this new music is held together with the poly-rhythmic traditional sounds of the West African n’goni front and center.
