A fusion of West African beats and Nordic jazz

The two Gambian brothers and musicians Yusupha and Ansumana, from the renowned Suso griot family in Gambia, return to Denmark.

Their family and relatives have passed on, refined, and innovated traditional Gambian and West African music for twelve generations.

The brothers unfold in a beautiful collaboration with their band members from Denmark, Troels Buur Jensen and Benjamin Kirketerp. Together, they are The Gambian Folk Project.

The four musicians create a unique and original musical universe in their fusion of vibrant West African beats and the floating Nordic jazz.

The music resonates with joy and spirit and once it hits the crowd in a virtuosic cornucopia, there is nothing left to do but to surrender to the vibe.
