“Nebaluyo (feat. Oumou Sangaré)” by Jacob Collier [OFFICIAL AUDIO] from Djesse Vol. 2

Oumou Sangaré is one of my most favourite human voices in the world. She inspires such a majesty, magic and wisdom in every word she sings. I have wanted to meet her and collaborate for so many years… so when I saw she was playing in London a few months ago I invited her over to my room in London. She arrived at 11am, and by 1pm (when she left to take a flight) we had the whole song recorded and mapped out. Despite barely speaking a word of each other’s language, we communicated through the omnipotence of music - and came up with something that inspires me to no end. She is such a powerhouse, with such deep-rooted care for the music and the energy she creates.

I called an old friend and hero of mine, Josh Arcoleo, to shred some killer sax over the ending and lay down some stabs... I reckon he’s one of the greatest sax players on the planet right now. What he played literally melted my face.

The last 20 seconds are entirely built from ‘train’ sounds. It’s a train to Djesse Vol. 3... but you’ll have to wait a few months before we get there :-)
