about

An introduction to the ever-growing family within the GABO collective. "Africa Rise" is the first collaboration with Scottish based musician & long term friend Samba Sene. Recorded live as part of GABOFest 2021, this very special performance highlights the power of connection through sound and story.

Musician Samba Sene was born in Dakar, Senegal, and moved to Scotland in 2000, where he settled in Edinburgh. A charismatic singer, his style is strongly influenced by a wide range of music, from traditional to funk, rock and ska. His influences include former mentor Baaba Maal, Bob Marley, Van Morrison, Paul Simon, Alpha Blondy and Aswad. Original songs cover a range of subjects including love, equal rights and outright celebration. Uplifting and upbeat.

"Africa Rise" the new single out of Gabofest 2021; An inspirational song that evoke the spirits of the ancestors and calling on humanity to reflect and do best for Africa’s new generations in the 21st Century, especially in a post-covid-19 new world environment.
