Alim Kamara is a British-Sierra Leonean hip-hop/afrobeat musician. As a child living in Sierra Leone, Alim would listen to Djelis (storytellers), admiring the way they weaved lessons through their tales. When he moved to London and started his music career, he used this same technique to achieve number one singles in both Sierra Leone and Nigeria, ‘Let’s Get Lost’ Remix ft Sharlene Hector, and Noto PlayPlay, a track that mixes English and Krio (a version of broken English found in Sierra Leone). His most recent release, 'Big Brothers', is a personal vocalised letter to his young brother, which salutes the efforts of big brothers ‘that had to play father.’ After a hiatus in 2020, expect to see Alim on the festival scene across the UK and Europe in 2021.
