      Since 2015, Les Disques Bongo Joe have been exploring musical margins with passion and precision — from rare reissues to bold local projects and international collaborations.

      To celebrate its 10th anniversary, the Geneva-based label releases 10 Years of Sonic Explorations, a compilation that captures a decade of handcrafted work, collective vision, and sonic adventures.

      It’s not a “best of”, but a vivid snapshot of what drives the label: from forgotten archives to emerging scenes, from Geneva to Bogotá, Istanbul or Lilongwe — through lo-fi grooves, offbeat percussion, raw vocals and unclassifiable sounds.

      Spanning the label’s earliest releases to its most recent ones, this selection highlights the range of aesthetics Bongo Joe has championed over the years — always resisting trends, always embracing singularity.

      A deep dive into a freeform catalogue built on one belief: that music is a force for expression, transmission, and connection.
