Made up of a rotating line up of some of New Yorks’ finest musicians, members of the band have played with Akoya Afrobeat, Antibalas, the Roots, Slavic Soul Party, the Arcade Fire, the SNL Band, the Met Opera, and the Tommy Dorsey Orch.
WAAW Band:
Led by legendary Senegalese Bassist Thierno Camara, WAAW Band is the first NYC-based group to present authentic and original M’balax Music of the Wolof people from Senegal, West Africa. 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 in New York City.
WAAW Band plays Music Direct from the Steets of Dakar, Senegal…Pure & Tuff!!
DJ Concerned:
If you don’t know already, DJ Concerned is one of the hottest DJ’s in Brooklyn and a cornerstone of it’s musical DNA. Intent on defending the blend, Concerned navigates the waters where Funk, Soul, Reggae, Latin, Afro-beat and Hip Hop intersect.
