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!!
