INA Stars Orchestra - INA Denw (With Musicians from Jackson State University School of Music) (2026)

The studio album INA Denw, featuring eight compositions by Malian composer and educator Abdrahamane Keita, is a unique international collaboration. It features students and faculty from Mali's National Institut National des Arts in Bamako playing traditional African instruments, alongside members of the Jackson State University music department from the US, who contributed jazz, blues, and gospel elements. Created by musicians who never met in person, the album demonstrates the deep historical and cultural connection between traditional Malian music and African American genres, reuniting two related musical lineages after three centuries of separation.
