about

An original 10-track album from Glastonbury Emerging Talent finalists Yamäya, that reached the final 8 bands out of 5600 entries. ‘Senegal’ is a unique body of work that features powerful Senegalese vocalist Khadim Sarr and members of established bands such as Basement Jaxx, Incognito, and Lakuta.

This collective of talented London and Brighton-based musicians have finely crafted their own distinctly mesmerising sound. Yamäya amalgamate influences from across the great African continent including Afrobeat, Griots, and Ethiopiques with modern tinges of dub, hip hop, jazz, and beyond. Their rich and intricate grooves are then layered with the inimitable rhythm and harmonic palette of Wolof song and rap.
