We fell head over heels for Akusmi’s new album, Terra Incognita, the second it was announced. Pascal Bideau, the ingenious French-born, London-based composer who spearheads the project, crafted a spellbinding collection of tracks. Seamlessly blending global and spiritual jazz with minimal repeating patterns, Akusmi’s forthcoming album is pulsing with the vibrant energy of Afrobeat, Highlife, and electronic Afro-pop.

Following the bright, entrancing and uplifting ‘Anima’, Akusmi is teasing the album again with new single ‘Rain Dance’, an entrancing and high-energy song featuring virtuoso tabla player and drummer Sarathy Korwar. Listen to ‘Rain Dance’ below and grab Terra Incognita when it drops on July 3rd through Tonal Union.
