Angers, France based Eastern-tinged Psych/Prog Rock band Gondhawa have unveiled the official music video for the single “Wha Ghena Ghenno” taken from their new album, “TÄKOMĀ,” released on January 30, 2026 via Stolen Body Records and Le Cèpe Records.

French power trio Gondhawa return with “TÄKOMĀ,” a frenetic blast of Oriental Psych Rock that barrels through microtonal madness and eastern-tinged grooves with unrestrained energy. Recorded at Studio Adjololo (Tinariwen, Omar Sosa, Tamikrest), this is the sound of a band pushing deeper into their singular vision.
It’s been a journey since Gondhawa‘s debut Käampäla landed on Stolen Body Records in 2021, followed by the “Mäanthagorī” EP in 2022. In that time, they’ve become one of the most exciting live acts in the European Psych scene, captured perfectly in their incendiary KEXP session and Astral Radio’s Astral Session. Now they’re back with their most ambitious statement yet.
Idriss Besselièvre, Clément Pineau, and Paul Adamczuk weave microtonal guitars, Mongolian sanxian, and crushing rhythms into something that sits perfectly between King Gizzard‘s Experimental edge, Mdou Moctar‘s desert fury, and the Psychedelic propulsion of Goat.
These tracks are direct, effective, and rootsy — the band’s signature catchy melodies and odd time signatures intact, but sharper. Mixed by Eliott Achard & Steven Ludard at Studio La Cuve and mastered by Peter Deimel at Black Box Studio, “TÄKOMĀ” captures the raw power of Gondhawa‘s explosive live show while expanding their sonic palette into wilder territory.
Since that breakthrough KEXP session at Transmusicales 2022, Gondhawa have torn through 50+ European shows, spreading their “Gondhawii” universal language across France, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, and Italy.
