Experimental music duo HiMA (David Aubaile & Julien Tekeyan) delivers a stirring new track titled “Kobagna”, a standout piece from their latest album HIMA, featuring the evocative vocals of Kaabi Kouyaté. Rooted in spontaneity and emotional storytelling, “Kobagna” is a rich blend of live improvisation, electro textures, and soulful energy that draws listeners in with its calming yet deeply resonant tone.
The track opens with lush, layered instrumentation, grounded by a mellow bassline and enhanced by organic loops and dynamic flourishes. As the vocals enter, they bring a surprising yet harmonious contrast: bold, emotional, and powerfully delivered. Kaabi Kouyaté’s performance elevates the piece, adding heartfelt depth to HiMA’s already masterful soundscape.
“Kobagna” is more than just a song, it’s a moment of live creativity captured in real time. It showcases what HiMA does best: building musical journeys from scratch with no safety net, relying on instinct, trust, and mutual understanding between two virtuoso performers. David Aubaile (piano/keyboards/FX) and Julien Tekeyan (drums/percussions/looping) craft their music entirely live, looping in real-time to create an evolving sound that is both grounded and free.
With HIMA, the duo presents a bold musical vision—one that embraces improvisation not as a jazz trope, but as a universal language of connection and exploration. From electro to contemporary, from rhythmic trance to emotional ballads, HiMA traverses genres without hesitation. Guest artists like Kaabi Kouyaté, Sandra Nkaké, and Yan Péchin bring even more texture to the project, embodying the duo’s commitment to raw creativity and cross-cultural collaboration.
“Kobagna” stands out as a deeply expressive moment—one that moves the body and the spirit. It’s a testament to HiMA’s dedication to creating music that’s not only heard but experienced.
