Masma Dream World – O, Dark Mother

Masma Dream World is the experimental project led by artist and healer Devi Mambouka. With roots in Gabon and Singapore, Mambouka is a child of the world. She recalls rainforest rituals and the presence of ghosts and spirits throughout her childhood in Gabon before immigrating to The Bronx. Here, instead of forests, she lost herself in record stores and began a spiritual, educational journey, DJing and immersing herself in NYC’s nightlife. A former Catholic school student, she studied religions of all kinds but found her guides in magic, maternal Hindu ancestors, the Black Madonna and Kali, the Hindu goddess of creation and destruction, and the mother of the forgotten ones.

Today, she has shared the third preview of her new album, PLEASE COME TO ME, due out February 21st via Valley of Search.

“O, Dark Mother” is a transmission from a liminal space; distended strings swell over radiator-like hums as Mambouka’s layered vocals arrive like choral smoke rings, dissipating across the open space.

To celebrate the release of PLEASE COME TO ME, Masma Dream World will perform at New York’s Public Records on February 20th. She’ll be joined by the Zola Jesus noise project NIKA for a night celebrating Parashakti, an invocation of the “Ultimate Divine Feminine Power.” The following week she’ll head to Los Angeles to perform at Gold Diggers on February 28th presented by Desert Daze.
