Hami Hamoo will release their debut album Siya on January 16, 2026, via Accords Croisés / Pias.
The trio grew out of a long-running collaboration between multi-instrumentalist Michael Havard and percussionist Habib Meftah, who built their careers performing diverse forms of world music. After working together as sidemen in a short-lived project, they chose to continue as a unit and invited singer and guitarist Moussa Koïta to complete the lineup.
With Siya, Hami Hamoo present a project that draws on multiple African heritages while connecting different places, eras, and musical traditions into a single ensemble sound.
