Originality is key, with Omar\u2019s traditional Senegalese \u201cGriot\u201d style incorporating modern genres including reggae, jazz and pop. The band have performed at a huge variety of events, including in front of many ambassadors at the Africa Festival Yokohama, receiving high praise. In July, they just released their 4th album &#8220;Lou Bess Dioudouna&#8221;.
