The result of five years spent between Mali, Benin, Chad and Ivory Coast, his first album can be experienced like an electronic travel diary, fed by improvised concerts, African live show culture, &#8220;<em>the meeting with musicians, human relations and this life which is completely different from ours<\/em>&#8220;, as he explained in a PAM interview. Surrounded by the Burkinabe multi-instrumentalist Simon Wins\u00e9, the Malian singer Fatim Kouyat\u00e9, the Ivorian percussionist Tusty N&#8217;Zor\u00e9 and the group Kouroudw\u00e9, he recounts this singular life interlude through a perfect marriage between electronic music and traditional instruments, described by Dom Peter, boss of Blanc Manioc label, as &#8220;<em>a sincere record, a lucid and direct music, a bit like a good wine<\/em>&#8220;. Praktika has already put his keen sense of the dancefloor at the service of his productions, and the character is above all an excellent DJ. We gave him carte blanche in this solid episode of PAM Club!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;<em>In this mix, I pictured myself in a CLUB situation, I even did my usual little dance steps, alone in my studio. I play gqom, techno, psychedelic Turkish disco, and a bit of maloya thanks to the superb rework of Salem Tradition produced by Alma Negra. I have fun, I dance, and I end up standing on the table in a Congolese maquis with the Minzoto Wella Wella Orchestra and the famous track &#8220;Lubutu&#8221; re-edited by Umoja<\/em>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/1130382820%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-hwodihWr9vF&amp;color=%23ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><div style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/panafricanmusic\" title=\"Pan African Music\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"noopener\">Pan African Music<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/panafricanmusic\/pam-club-praktika\/s-hwodihWr9vF\" title=\"PAM Club : Praktika\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"noopener\">PAM Club : Praktika<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tracklist :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
