A Fusion of Heritage and Contemporary Sound
The Balimaya Project, founded by Yahael Camara Onono, blends West African Mandé traditions with London’s hybrid music scenes. Born to a Nigerian mother and Senegalese father, Camara Onono’s influences span from Nahawa Doumbia to Marvin Gaye. After playing with Afro-Venezuelan and jazz groups, he formed Balimaya Project in 2019. The 16-piece band mixes cultural nuances, bridging African and diasporic sounds.
Their debut album Wolo So and follow-up When The Dust Settles explore collective polyrhythms, emotional themes, and personal stories, capturing the journey of Black identity and community in the diaspora.
