The griot enlists three producers for a new four-piece EP of remixes of his single \u201cZara\u201d on Mawimbi. Discover Reunion island\u2019s M.Baba\u2019s version exclusively on PAM.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Zara \u00bb is the latest single from London\u2019s favourite griot Jally Kebba Susso. It marks his comeback as a solo artist, after a three-year hiatus which has seen him take the stage of many festivals alongside his band Afriquoi<\/a> \u2013 whose latest EP Time is A Gift Which We Share All The Time<\/a><\/em> was also released by Mawimbi<\/a> in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Produced in collaboration with Afriquoi bandmate Nico Bentley, \u00ab Zara \u00bb is a fierce, uptempo track, nodding to UK bass music, Chicagoan footwork and West African afropop. Named after Jally\u2019s stepdaughter, the song is an ode to the feeling of togetherness the Gambian artist experiences when traveling back to his native Mandinka land. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest of the EP will contain three thoughtful reworks by artists taken from the label Mawimbi\u2019s extended roster: French producer Pouvoir Magique, Latin-electro artist Ozferti, and R\u00e9union-based M.Baba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zara (inc. Remixes)<\/a><\/em> by Jally Kebba Susso, out on November 5 via Mawimbi Records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
