Samana make music that leads one on a journey that evokes ancient beliefs, revolution and healing, alternately confronting and transcending the heaviest elements of the human condition. It is an invitation to regain possession of ourselves and our time, as well as rediscovering harmony with the environment that surrounds us.
Samana make music for the soul. Oscillating between melancholic ballads and spiritual experiences, their music leads one on a journey of cinematic proportion that evokes ancient beliefs, revolution, healing, fallen civilisations and intense deliberations of love, loss and death. They possess a truly unique spirit born from a nomadic and solitary existence, placing great emphasis on the philosophy of dreams, the interior of the subconscious and the power of improvisation.
Each song created by Samana is constructed with an ethereal power and an emotional honesty which offers a direct passage into the essence of ourselves, removing ones veneer, with its shamanic quality. Their mission is to deliver a profoundly transcendental and immersive sonic and atmospheric experience, breaking down the performer/audience barrier, easing all into the soft, embracing ambience of a living room.

The 2025 festival will run from Saturday 14 June to Sunday 20 July.
