"Guitar Globetrotter" Joep Pelt, who grew up playing instruments between the Mississippi and Mali and is now internationally via his many appearances at the North Sea Jazz Festival, discovered Ali Baba 'Bounaly' Traoré on Instagram. That same day, he sent the "guitar prodigy" from northern Mali a request for original songs. They now present these and their own new compositions, which range from a modern interpretation of traditional Takamba music via blues to the funk and soul grooves of bassist Kyan and drummer Randell Sambo in their rousing supergroup DJAM!. The band name means happiness and is shouted in particularly beautiful moments on the dance floors of Bounaly's birthplace Niafunké. And soon in Saalfelden as well.
