A daughter of Gambian immigrants, Mariama Ndure’s diverse upbringing in Norway has greatly influenced her artistry, allowing her to blend the rich tapestry of her cultural heritage with elements of jazz, hip hop, soul, and improvisation.

Reflecting the journey of reclaiming her voice and identity while honoring her ancestral roots, Mariama’s debut album ‘Rituals’ is scheduled to be released internationally this summer on LP and as a digital deluxe version with exclusive bonus tracks.

The closing track from the album, ‘Janha Bou Nioul (Brown Girl)’, has been remixed by Brixton based producer Last Nubian. Bridging the gap between house, broken beat and jazz; his remix transforms Mariama’s delicate yet emotionally powerful song into a defiant, club ready mantra.
