Australian Tour 2016!
Jaaleekaay is excited to announce our 2016 Australian tour this March & April. Kicking off at Music By the Sea in Sandgate, Brisbane, on March 5th, we're following up with the Port Fairy Folk Festival, then Melbourne's hottest new Jazz club, Bird's Basement on March 17. But that's not all - next on the journey is the Blue Mountains Festival, followed by one of Australia's best, The National Folk Festival in Canberra over the Easter holiday weekend. On April 22nd, and supported by Grace Barbe we'll be having a great night at BEMAC, Brisbane. Finally, we'll wrap up on April 23rd at our Aussie HQ town of Mullumbimby NSW. That final show will be at the Civic Hall in Mullum where Jaaleekaay's first tour started in 2013. So it's full circle for us as we hit our 2nd Crossing in Australia, 2016!. We hope to see you at one of our shows!!
The Jaaleekaay Story!
THANK YOU AUSTRALIA!

Jaaleekaay is a West African word from the Wolof language meaning “crossing point”. It is also an extraordinary musical collaboration between Australian guitarist Steve Berry and two of Gambia’s leading musicians - the highly celebrated singer Yusupha Ngum and kora prodigy Amadou Suso. It’s a combination that stems from a fortuitous meeting in West Africa, and makes for a passionate mix of contemporary musical prowess and deep cultural tradition.
