Midi Minds Kenya

It is FINALLY here! After collaborations with leading Afro DJs & Producers around the globe in conjunction with Madorasindahouse, our “Sounds Of Sasaab” Sample Pack is now available for you to interpret musically & create authentic music featuring the voices of the majestic Samburu tribe from Kenya.

We also take this time to thank the community and every partner that played a role in making this dream come true. All proceeds from this pack will be directed towards funding a class-room for the chosen school located in the Westgate Conservancy in Samburu, Kenya, where some of these recordings took place.

You can now purchase the sample pack here:
