Balimaya Project

Balimaya Project has been played on NTS over 10 times, featured on 10 episodes and was first played on 13 September 2021.

Balimaya Project is a London-based 16-piece collective that fuses West-African folkloric music and jazz. Formed in 2019 by percussionist Yahael Camara Onono, a second-generation Londoner, the band uses the repertoire and instrumentation of the Mande peoples of Senegal and Mali as the bridge to bring the folkloric West African music together with jazz and the sounds of Black London.

The band has played mainstage at festivals across the UK,…
