Edinburgh FC is really pleased to welcome back one of our most enjoyable gigs in 2021 ... the diverse international collection of musicians, led by charismatic Senegalese singer Samba Sene.What an wonderful, exuberant fusion of funky mbalax/Afrobeat grooves, with undercurrents of ska and reggae; original songs with impassioned vocals, infectious guitar licks and irresistible dance grooves.
Sene's influences include former mentor Baaba Maal, Bob Marley, Van Morrison, Paul Simon, Alpha Blondy and Aswad.
The songs cover a range of subjects from love, equal rights to outright celebration. Uplifting and upbeat, this is world music with a Senegalese heart & soul.
