In the realm of music, where the past and future often collide to create something truly unique, MAM6K’s latest track, “Tivi Gain Gain,” stands as a testament to this fusion. It all began with a simple, yet captivating sample recorded over two decades ago in the familial setting of a courtyard. This was no ordinary tune; it was one that resonated with the collective memory of a family, hummed by Aunt Louise, whose melody lingered in the air like a cherished heirloom.
Fast forward to the present, and MAM6K has breathed new life into this melody, transforming it with a modern twist that honors its origins while propelling it into the contemporary music scene. “Tivi Gain Gain” is not just a song; it’s a journey—a trip-hop adventure that weaves together the threads of black techno with MAM6K’s signature jazzy-dub vocals. The result is a rich tapestry of sound that encapsulates the essence of Afrofuturism.
The track is more than an auditory experience; it’s a visual and cultural voyage that invites listeners to traverse the red sand tracks of Benin, much like a motorcycle taxi winding its way through the heart of the country. The music video, shot on location in Benin, serves as a visual companion to the song, offering a glimpse into the vibrant life and landscapes that inspired the track.
MAM6K’s “Tivi Gain Gain” is a celebration of heritage and innovation. It’s a homecoming that calls out to those who seek to explore the roots of their identity through the lens of futuristic expression. As the song plays, one can almost feel the warmth of the red sands and the rhythm of the wheels on the ground, each beat a step closer to understanding the depth of connection between the land and its people.
In essence, “Tivi Gain Gain” is more than a song—it’s a narrative, a piece of history, and a beacon of cultural pride. MAM6K has not only created a track but has also crafted an experience that resonates with the soul of Benin and the spirit of Afrofuturism. It’s a reminder that music has the power to transcend time, to connect us with our past, and to carry us forward into the future. 🎶🌍
