Bio: Every Samana release has been imbued with the spirit of the landscape the duo found themselves in while piecing the work together. Formed during a year-long journey through Eastern Europe, the notion of unbridled movement and human interaction has been a constant in their work.
Two multi-disciplinary artists, Samana is Rebecca Rose Harris and Franklin Mockett, a duo that has always existed outside of the industry even while making considered waves within it. Free to explore each facet of their imagination, the pair combine their striking music with poetry, photography, and fine art. Unflinchingly heartfelt and earnest, Rebecca and Franklin have spent the best part of a decade honing their musical craft and digging through the roots of the spiritual bond they’ve cultivated, both together and apart.
Since the conception of Samana, the duo have worked alongside artists such as Nick Cave, Warren Ellis and Steve Mason, and were in 2022, gifted the fine accolade of Mojo's No. 1 Psychedelic Folk album of the year.
