DJ Laylo and Nomadic Wax Present: The WAAW Band @ Rose Live Music, this Friday, April 25th at 10pm!
Come and get down for a night of music from Senegal, West Africa with the WAAW Band, directed by legendary bassist Thierno Camara and special guest singing sensation Alioune Guisse! The band will be preforming 2 sets starting at 10pm, DJ Laylo on the 1′s and 2′s!
The WAAW Band is the first NYC-based group to present authentic and original M’balax music of the Wolof people from Senegal, West Africa! Popularized internationally by renowned singers Youssou N’Dour andBaaba Maal, M’balax is a highly danceable music style characterized by the staccato hits of the Sabar drums (national drums of Senegal) and dramatic vocal harmonies sung in Wolof (Senegal’s largest language group). The WAAW Band’s original and fresh approach to M’balax reflects the diverse talents of the group’s members, and how they infuse the musical traditions of their homeland with the popular styles they have absorbed as young musicians living inNew York City.
The WAAW Band is:
Thierno Camara (bass and vocals)
Arona N’Diaye (Marimba Keyboards)
Mahanta Faye (drumset)
Raja Kassis (Guitar)
Samba Guisse (Sabar and Talking Drum)
Mohammed Guisse (sabar)
