Organic Loops are proud to present our second mini collection: Gambian Harp, the most authentic collection of West African Kamele N'goni sounds you’ll find on the market today. Everything included is 100% royalty free and ready to inject some stunning world music vibes into your tracks.

The Gambian Harp, also known as the Kamele N'goni, is a bridge harp from the Manding region of West Africa (especially Mali and Burkina Faso). The instrument originates from the 6 string Donso (hunter) n’goni. It was created sometime in the 1960’s by Wassoulou musician Allata Brulaye, who first recorded it in 1983. The tuning of the Kamele N’goni is pentatonic with at least 8 and up to 16 strings. These are plucked with thumb and index fingers of both hands.

There was a powerful social reason for the creation of the Kamele N'goni and indeed its meaning ‘young person harp’. Mande countries of West Africa have stratified societies with artisanal classes. As a Donso you have to undergo an initiation, and their music was solely played during their rituals and ceremonies.

In the Wassoulou region, people believe that all people are entitled to make music. So whilst the Kamele N'goni is very structurally similar to the Donso N'goni, its creation allowed people to step outside the rules and hence revolutionise Malian music.

The Kamele N'goni today is an instrument of growing popularity in West Africa and around the World. It has been popularised significantly through artists such as Oumou Sangare, and it is a staple in the music of Salif Keita.

Within this collection, you’ll find kora harp loops, hits and strums at tempos ranging from 80-130bpm, perfect for downtempo, trip-hop, house, hip-hop and more!

In detail, expect to find 200 MB of content, with all audio recorded at 24Bit 44.1KHZ. There are 60 Kora Harp Loops, 55 Kora Harp Hits and 16 Kora Harp Strums.

IQ Samples are proud to present - Deep Ethnic Flutes by Neki!

Neki, a well-known experimenter with modern sound of ethnic music (also known as founder of Serbian project ShazaLaKazoo) shares his collection of ethnic flutes that he played in the context of deep electronic music. You can expect a variety of ethnic flutes in various tempos and styles, for use in a wide range of genres of modern music, such as deep, house, moombahton or downtempo, or even in film/theatre music.

This sample pack contains large number of short and long flute phrases at three main tempos - 95,110,125 BPM as well as single flute notes, plus 150 drums, percussion, bass and keys loops, 140 drum one shots and FX.

Enjoy!

Bringing a human element into electronically produced music can really add a special quality and groove that is otherwise hard to obtain by sequencing samples.  Tribal & African percussion features nearly 300 percussion loops & one shots, recorded live and played by a skilled percussionist.  Layer these grooves into your tracks and watch them come alive, or slice up the rhythms to create entirely new grooves.  One shots from all of the loops have been provided as well so if you prefer to sequence your own beats on an MPC, Maschine, or your own DAW then all the sounds are ready to go.

The samples are ideal for a producer who wants to bring the African & Cumbia vibe into their tracks. The loops have been recorded at various different tempos so you can use these sounds in many different genres, including many different forms of EDM.  Leading artists such as Major Lazer have been continuously mixing their EDM craft with Latin & African samples so we encourage users to experiment with the samples and think outside the box when using these sounds.  Producers of genres such as house, trap, and techno will soon find this may just be that secret weapon in their arsenal.   The rhythms act as starting point to achieve complex grooves, try shifting around where the 1 beat lands on these grooves to watch entirely rhythms appear!
