MUMBAI: West African Afro-House innovator AMÉMÉ unleashes his highly anticipated 4-way collaboration “Richa” (ft. Tamir Regev) via Insomniac Records. Joining forces with LA-based Avi Snow, Kenyan native Idd Aziz, and New York music producer Tamir Regev, “Richa” harmoniously blends four distinct sonic signatures into a dynamic, global musical fingerprint.
Born in Benin, West Africa – Brooklyn-based AMÉMÉ amplifies his heritage through vibrant, eclectic experiences of African-informed electronic music enriched with flourishing percussion and contemporary melodies. Avi Snow’s multi-instrumental expertise and ferocious studio prowess fuel a rich, multicultural catalog. Skilled percussionist and vocalist Idd Aziz’s music fosters healing and self-connection, while Tamir Regev specializes in organic deep house grooves, synths and melodies.
This world-praising quartet fuses their strengths to raise the vibrations. Sung in Aziz’s native Swahili, “Richa” features his distinctive, mantric vocals set against a grounding mélange of life-filled percussion, soothing guitar strums, poignant pads, and sublime woodwind accents. Transcending the sum of its parts, “Richa” is a masterpiece capable of reaching deep into mind, body and soul.
