Sometimes, the right path finds you. Iboga Records proudly presents Rite of Passage, a transcendent new compilation curated by label heads Emok & Banel. More than just a collection of tracks, this release embodies the essence of transformation, connection, and the profound moments that define our journey. The compilations name and artwork were born from a chance encounter at Fusion Festival 2023, where the energy of the moment led to deep conversations about music, spirituality, and the sacred African plant medicine, Iboga. Inspired by this serendipitous meeting, Rite of Passage weaves together genre-defying, driving soundscapes that guide listeners on a journey beyond the dancefloor—into realms of introspection and sonic euphoria. Music is the answer—it transcends boundaries and weaves souls together.
