For years, BDS campaigners have been demonised for opposing the occupation of Palestine.
Today, they have been vindicated by an ICJ judgment, which called on states to stop aiding Israel’s unlawful presence in Palestinian territories.
End the occupation. Free Palestine.

The design is inspired by the colourful way boats and public buses are painted in Dakar. (Fun fact the word Senegal is derived from Sunu gal - our canoe!)
‘When The Dust Settles’ has been an amazing journey so far! Thank you for all your support… 🤲🏿

Senegal 🇸🇳 was a moving experience. The purpose to ensure that not only are we playing music that’s rooted in contemporary Mande tradition but also rooted in a tangible experience…

Yahael had always wanted the band to go back home, to acknowledge the importance of identity, of going to a place where we originate from, the importance of being in a place where you are not othered. Where you see yourself reflected in the people and in the landscape.

Balimaya Project, is a London-based 16 piece collective, uniquely fusing West-African folkloric music and jazz.
Formed in 2019 by percussionist Yahael Camara Onono.
The word Balimaya from the Maninka language, means the essence of kinship.. and is engrained in the moral fabric of the Mande people, which is what inspires Balimaya’s mission.
Bandleader Yahael pays homage to his Senegalese, Nigerian cultural roots throughout the music.
Yahael joins us this Sunday and we are exploring the life and times of this exciting ensemble, listening to some of their music along the way.
The Balimaya Project, is our Cover Story.
