London-based  band Awalé returns with a new sound, Senegalese soul. Biram Seck’s  soaring voice evokes messages of love and peace, underpinned by heavenly  poly-rhythm groove explorations. Intense and spiritual Sabar Senegalese  percussion and Afro-Latin drums conversations, weaving intricate guitar  patterns and horn lines with catchy bass riffs. Like a spinning  kaleidoscope of sounds, each tune travels on a varied musical journey,  from afrobeat to soul, deep Afro-jazz to Latin. Awalé is on a mission  to experience happiness together in these fractured times.
‘A  truly magical and uplifting cross-cultural collaboration, bringing  together Afro-latin, funk and soul elements with a Senegalese twist. The  wonderful voice of Biram Seck and Thibaut Remy’s compositions make for  an unmissable combo. Must See!’ - Tim Garcia (Jazz FM/Musica Macondo)
‘Most  Impressive, echoes a lot of greats like Orchestra Baobab and Youssou  N’Dour but with very much it’s own sound’ - Jamie Renton (DJ, fROOTS)
