Masma Dream World taps into tribal ritualism on primordial "Ancient DNA"

Devi Mambouka captivated with her 2020 LP as Masma Dream World, Play At Night, a striking blend of provocative tribal rhythms imbued with a progressive pop perspective that deconstructed notions of what World Music could sound like by tapping into the very source of human spiritualism.
Remerging from the miasma for her latest single, Mambouka once again plucks at the threads of connective tissue that stretch across the epochs, uniting disparate tribes of humanity with a divine commonality that attempts to comprehend the awesome wonders of existence and what lies beyond the veil of perception. “Ancient DNA” swirls like nebulous clouds of heady incense rising between colossal pillars, hypnotizing the faithful with an intoxicating perfume of skittering rhythms and a swelling undercurrent of ominous tones as black and unfathomable as the primordial seas from which life once emerged, wet and vulnerable and defiant.
Illuminated by crackling flames, a haunting chorus gathers in their masses to huddle against the infinite in reverent worship of the elder gods, adorned in the mental jewelry of myth and legend that seeks to cast the elemental terrors of space and time in guises more familiar to the primitive limitations of human understanding. Shedding the technological hubris that does not deign to recognize the fragility of our origins, Masma Dream World opens a pathway to our collective roots, tapping into the ancient codices that define the very nature of life itself to harness a well of limitless strength and foundational philosophy critical for the continued voyage into the unknowable.
