Boka de Banjul, founded by Gambian griot Ebou Gaye Mada in 2002,  blends traditional Gambian Mbalax with Afrobeat, jazz, reggae, and rock into a vibrant, globally inspired sound. What began as spontaneous jam sessions evolved into a powerful collective driven by rhythm, connection, and positive energy.

Now based in Rotterdam, the band is known for explosive live performances filled with infectious grooves, rich percussion, and dynamic interaction with the audience. With passion, experience, and unmistakable stage chemistry, Boka de Banjul transforms every performance into a celebration that draws crowds deep into the music. Their energetic sound has taken them to stages and festivals around the world.
