DELUXE EDITION

Critically acclaimed drummer, producer, and composer Salin, known for her innovative blend of global rhythms, today re-releases her highly anticipated album, Rammana. After receiving a Juno nomination for Global Music Album of the Year this groundbreaking work, a vibrant testament to Salin's continued artistic growth, houses 10 meticulously crafted tracks including previously shared singles "Si Chomphu", "Current", "Egungun", "Puaj", "Painted Lady", and album title track "Rammana". Rammana is a deeply personal journey, weaving together the sounds of Northeast Thailand with the psychedelic soul of 1970s West Africa, all filtered through Salin's distinct modern production ear. Inspired by the traditional drum and folk songs of the Urak Lawoi, an indigenous nomadic island tribe, Salin's album is a celebration of musical migration and exchange of East and West. "With Rammana, I aimed to weave together some of my biggest musical influences," Salin explains. "I built the foundation on African rhythms, recognizing them as our original roots, and was obsessed by it's polyrhythms. I then layered in the syncopated line of Thai Funk and jazzy chords to infuse them with traditional Thai musical elements, giving you what I call Afro-Thai Funk. Salin's journey to Rammana began with travels to Koh Lanta, off the coast of Krabi province, where she immersed herself in the musical traditions of the Urak Lawoi. Learning directly from the elder Urak Lawoi musicians, she discovered a connection between the Rammana drum and the tribe's traditional spiritual celebrations. The album's layered rhythms and soulful melodies create a cohesive listening experience of deeper understanding, inviting listeners to join Salin on her journey through an immersive world that will demand repeated listens. Salin is a JUNO-nominated drummer, producer, and composer whose music explores the enchanting sounds of Northeast Thailand and marries it with the 70's psychedelia of West Africa, all through the lens of modern soulful production. Through her music, she ponders themes of identity, spirituality, and humanity, all paired with a dose of fun to create a unique sonic journey for her listeners. After Rammana gained international recognition from Bandcamp Weekly, CBC Music, KEXP, Exclaim!, Stereofox, Glide Magazine, Radio-Canada, the Montreal Guardian she went on to tour across the US, Canada nad Europe, selling out headline shows and supporting Kokoroko and Yussef Dayes. Salin is a rapidly accelerating force in modern world jazz and her star is will only rise further in 2026.
