Future beat shake. An ongoing round trip journey between tribes and psyche, desert and spaceships, jungle and skyscrapers. When Khalab and Baba Sissoko first recorded together in 2015, they produced something definitive: a record where electronics and griot tradition achieved genuine synthesis rather than polite cohabitation. Not layered genres maintaining separate identities, but two forms evolving into something singular. „Tata” took Track of the Year at the 2016 Gilles Peterson Worldwide Awards, found champions in Laurent Garnier, Ben UFO, Matthew Dear, Bonobo, and many others — but more significantly, it established a working method built to last. Eleven years on, they return with Foli Bah on Hyperjazz Records.
Theirs is a relationship built on trust. Khalab constructs structures that don’t develop linearly but spiral inward — loops that reveal something new with each rotation, tightening until the listener stops resisting and surrenders. Sonic architectures that don’t expand outward but deepen over time, layering toward saturation. Baba Sissoko inhabits these structures with instruments from Malian tradition, not as ornamentation but as load-bearing elements: the tradition becomes structure, not decoration. Electronics and griot practice begin speaking the same language.
Khalab — founder of Hyperjazz Records — brings compositional maturity refined through years of exploration: from the Afrofuturism of Black Noise 2084 to recordings in the Sahara desert with Tuareg musicians for M’berra, to collaborations with leading figures in contemporary jazz, including Shabaka Hutchings and Moses Boyd.
Baba Sissoko, master of the tamani and pivotal figure in Malian musical culture, has worked with major figures including the seminal Art Ensemble of Chicago, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Rokia Traoré, and he’s part of Damon Albarn’s Africa Express — he continues to cross geographies and genres without losing the centre of his artistic identity.
Hyperjazz Records exists to pursue this exact convergence — building a catalogue that connects distant scenes without flattening difference. Foli Bah is perhaps its most direct expression.
