The Amarrass Connection
ASPA and Amarrass Records work in parallel: ASPA handles essential non-commercial preservation and archiving, while Amarrass Records provides the global commercial platform. Since 2011, Amarrass Records has expanded into ethical artist management, giving a global stage to talents such as the Barmer Boys, Lakha Khan, Painted Caves (USA — an Arabic garage band), and Madou Sidiki Diabaté (Mali), the 71st generation of kora players. This dual approach ensures traditions are both preserved (archiving and craft) and sustained (through ethical performance income).
Community Support in Crisis:
-
During the pandemic, the Amarrass COVID-19 Fund was established to provide direct relief, with 100% of all funds raised going to our artists to ensure their immediate well-being.
-
Following the loss of the iconic Barmer Boys lead vocalist, Mange Khan, ASPA ensures his widow is supported through a contribution from every Barmer Boys performance.
