Event Details
Welcome to the “Hakili Koura: A New Mentality” is an album by Yahael Camara Onono, a multi-talented musician and bandleader from London. He is the leader of Balimaya Project, a group that fuses traditional West African music with contemporary jazz and Afrobeat. The album title, Hakili Koura, which means “new mentality” in Bambara, reflects a modern reimagining of ancient musical traditions.

With complex rhythms, layered textures, and a variety of instruments, Hakili Koura encapsulates his vision of blending cultural roots with fresh perspectives.

This album represents not only Onono’s personal journey but also a broader movement toward inclusivity and fusion in contemporary music.
