Splice Sessions: Senegal Genesis is a journey through the origins of African music from Senegal, Ghana, Cameroon, and Nigeria. Played by masters of percussion who grew up in the shadows of great musicians who proudly passed down ancient instruments and ceremonial rhythms, these performances are 100% authentic.

You’ll find melodic loops, vocals, percussion, kalimba, balafon, kora, flute, and way more.

This release is part two of a two-part series (following West African Meditations) featuring folk instrumentation and free-flowing musical passages commonly used in West African traditions. Recorded and produced at La Boutique Studios Dakar by Pape Armand Boye, this collection provides further insights into the sonic experience of West African spirituality, where music is the centerpiece of celebrations and rituals. In this pack, you'll find West African rhythms, vocals, and instruments such as the balafon, ngoni, and kora. Plus, synths, guitars, drums, and percussion.

Produced by Pape Armand Boye at La Boutique Studios in Dakar, this pack brings together some of the top African reggae players to showcase the Senegalese spin on the genre. Processed through Roland Space Echos and other classic boxes, this pack gets close to the classic ‘80s sound of African reggae artists like Alpha Blondy, Lucky Dube, and Soul Raiders.
