The music of Bai Kamara Jr. is contemporary and rooted in African rhythms, made up of slightly hypnotic guitar grooves and laced with a beautiful song here and there. His voice resembles that of Robert Cray and his presentation is that of a gentleman with a mischievous wink.

In short: There is little standard to the blues of Bai Kamara Jr. and yet it is unmistakably blues. But also the necessary soul, funk, afro and jazz influences color a concert by Bai Kamara Jr. His soulful voice is sometimes also reminiscent of STING. Just listen to the song RISE (youtube).

Bai Kamara Jr. shared the stage with some of the world’s greatest, such as Habib Koité, Cassandra Wilson, Rokia Traoré, Vaya Con Dios and Youssou N’Dour. Two of Bai Kamara’s songs were recorded for the movie El Vuelo Del Tren (The Magic of Hope). And hope is what Bai offers us. Recently, Bai Kamara Jr. its 6th album “SALONE”.

This evening he will perform solo for us in the intimate atmosphere of the theater hall of the Cultuurhuis Heerlen (at an appropriate distance).
