Out Today!
‘SENEGAL’ – 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.

Out Today! - Farawané – the third digital single by UK band Yamäya, taken from the upcoming album ‘Senegal’
This mesmerising song is a melancholic tale of dishonest and two-faced behaviour fueled by jealousy and comparison. Sung in the beautiful Senegalese language of Wolof, Khadim Sarr's powerful vocals float over delicious syncopated afro-soul grooves intertwined with Ethiopian melodies and jazz solos from Yamäya's five-piece heavyweight horn section.
