Mami Watta - The Witches Brew

More about Mami Watta - The Witches Brew

"Mami Watta – The Witches Brew" is a vivid Afro-psychedelic response to Miles Davis’ revolutionary album B**ches Brew. Created by Manchester-based artist Jasmin Issaka, whose bold digital illustrations fuse Ghanaian heritage, surrealism, and vibrant pattern work, this piece channels the wild, improvisational energy of the record.

Mami Wata, the West African water spirit of seduction, healing, and chaos, is reimagined here as both divine muse and alchemical conjurer. Her essence dissolves into a psychedelic storm of colour, symbols, and fluid forms—casting a visual spell that mirrors the genre-defying nature of Davis’ sonic experimentation. Jasmin’s practice embraces improvisation, ancestral storytelling, and visual rhythm—making this piece a brew of movement, memory, and myth. The Witches Brew plays on both magical and musical forces: much like Davis’ fusion of jazz, funk, and avant-garde, Jasmin stirs cultural motifs, feminine power, and emotional depth into a hypnotic, soul-shifting vision. A ritual of colour. A storm of spirit.
