Tết 41 was created during a transformative trip to Vietnam, where JakoJako (aka Sibel Koçer) explored her heritage alongside her mother, who, like her, had an estranged relationship with their mother country.
Koçer explains, “I wanted to collect the atmospheres of Vietnam, and strip it back to my language – electronic music. I don’t have huge ties to the traditions of my Vietnamese family, so being able to experience them with my mother, and then bring the Lunar Celebration – the colourful flowers, food and customs – back to Europe through music has helped me realise how important this side of my heritage is.”
JakoJako’s Tết 41 is out on Mute on limited edition vinyl and digitally.
