Musa is a true entertainer. His innovative approach to the new style of West African Music is inspired by the deep culture and rich life of The Gambia (known as the smiling coast of Africa).
Bollo means an interaction between two cultures working together for a common goal in the creativity of music. This collaboration between musicians and dancers explores how they work together. A group of artists travelled with Musa to the Gambia and worked with local musicians and dancers to explore the differences in their styles. Upon returning to the UK, they performed a series of concerts showcasing the music and dance created by the collaborative project.
Since then, over 50 musicians from different parts of Africa and other world music practitioners have worked with the project, facilitating workshops for over 1,000 schoolchildren.
Immerse yourself in West African melodies, rhythms, traditions and culture with Musa and the Bollo’s dynamic musical performance and interactive storytelling.
In this unforgettable cultural journey, you’ll learn about some significant heroes of The Gambia and the role of traditional Griots (Oral Historians) in their communities.
Gambian master percussionist and lead vocalist Musa Mboob blends traditional instruments with modern electronic guitars to create an electrifying mix of Afro-Manding fusion and traditional West African rhythms.
