Halloween with Orchestra Gold – Afro Psych Rock

Oakland-based Orchestra Gold fuses West African musical traditions with psychedelic rock, creating a hypnotic, high-energy sound led by Malian singer Mariam Diakité and guitarist Erich Huffaker. Deep rhythmic grooves, electric guitars, and soaring horns blend with the spiritual influences of Malian music for a powerful, genre-crossing live experience.

Their 2025 album DAKAN earned a four-star review in Songlines Magazine and reached the Top 10 of KEXP’s Global Chart. With performances at major festivals including Newport Folk Festival, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, and SXSW, Orchestra Gold delivers a vibrant musical journey that connects ancestral rhythms with the electrifying energy of psychedelic rock.
