Balimaya means kinship, fellowship or brotherhood in Bamana and the other Manding languages of West Africa. It's also an organizing principle for a 16-piece band from London called Balimaya Project, led by percussionist Yahael Camara Onono, featuring musicians from Kokoroko and the SEED Ensemble, and including kora, balafon and a six-piece African drum section.
Balimaya Project's debut album Wolo So was released on July 30, and it's a must-hear for fans of progressive African music and jazz. I'll play you a track this week on Global A Go-Go.
Also this week (Monday August 9, 3:00-5:00 PM on WRIR, for two weeks afterwards on the wrir.org archive player, check your local listings for airing on other radio stations, and any old time at my podcast site): dreamy Turkish psych-pop; the deep grooves of Cuban rumba and timba; new African music from Yeko & Khaira Arby, Guy One and Vaudou Game; and some North African music for the dance floor.
