Bahule has long stood out for her singular vocal approach, weaving together powerful vocals, rich rhythmic traditions and her own unique artistic language, while Jacov&#8217;s work moves between adventurous club music, film scores and sound art. The pair have unveiled their debut single, &#8216;Derege&#8217;, an exhilarating club cut born from improvised sessions during an artist residency in S\u00e3o Paulo, combining Jacov&#8217;s fractured electronic grooves with Bahule&#8217;s striking rhythm language. Rather than singing in an existing language, Bahule uses a vocal language she created herself, shaped by sound, rhythm and intention instead of literal meaning, making her performance all the more compelling. Released through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.altinvillage.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Altin Village &amp; Mine<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/kann-records.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KANN<\/a>, &#8216;Derege&#8217; is the first taste of an upcoming EP from the duo.
