Doors Open 7.30pm

London based Awale Jant Band was founded in 2017 by Senegalese singer Birame Seck and French musician and producer Thibaut Remy. 

Thibaut is a self taught musician who relies primarily on feeling, and he says, “When I heard Biram singing it reminded me of an American soul singer: He is a Senegalese soul singer… We’d like people to feel our music joining the dots between cultures.” Singer, songwriter Biram Seck is from Dakar, the son of a Gawlo (story-teller). Biram’s grandfather was a master of the traditional West African guitar/banjo, the xalam. As Biram says,
"I love music because it is a means of communicating ideas to broaden minds and build an integrated world... a world of peace.”

The name Awale Jant Band is a combination of Biram Seck’s Jant Band and Thibaut Remy’s London group Awale - a collective of African, French, British and Senegalese musicians performing for the last 10 years in London. In Wolof, it means “Let the sun pass through”. And literally this is their mission, to uplift people with their music.

They are very excited to be bringing a new album out, to be released in 2026. To this effect, they have an exciting collaboration with senegalese musicians bassist El Hadj Ndire, pianist Ibou Tall, drummers Seydou Kienous from Ivory Coast, Badou Ndiaye (Cheikh Lo) and percussionist Medoune Ndiaye (Thionne Seck). The music is Senegalese soul music, including various styles such as Funk, Latin Jazz, Afrobeat, Mbalax and Blues. Imagine Youssou N’dour meets Fela Kuti to listen to desert blues.To achieve this live and on record, they have a tight band of world class musicians, including:
Michael Idowu on bass from Nigeria.
Kaw Secka, master percussionist from Gambia (Fofoulah).
Ben Brown on drums (Mulatu Astatke, Waaju).
John Martin on tenor saxophone.
George Jefford on trumpet.
Thibaut Remy on Electric Guitar and Backing Vocals
Birame Seck on Guitar and Vocals
