The International Archives of Popular Music (AIMP), affiliated with the Ethnographic Museum of Geneva (MEG), is a label and collection dedicated to the preservation of world music. Founded in 1944 by musicologist Constantin Brailoiu, it gathers over 18,000 recordings, from wax cylinders to digital formats.

AIMP releases albums and collaborates with artists such as Midori Takada, exploring the connections between sound archives and contemporary creation. Through these projects, the label preserves and reinterprets musical traditions on a global scale.

This release was created for the exhibition 'Afrosonica', to start in May 2025, in the MEG.
