About
Omar Ka is a Senegalese singer, songwriter and guitarist who takes traditional Fulani folk music and mixes it with mbalax, afro reggae, funk and desert blues. His Fulani roots matter to the music: the Fulani are a traditionally nomadic people spread across West Africa, and his songs keep coming back to nature, travel and living in balance with the environment. He started the band Fula in 1991, a high energy West African groove with jazz and funk flavours, played on traditional instruments like the hoddu and the kora. After building a following in West Africa, he moved to Europe in the late 1990s. Since then he has worked with a long list of artists, both Dutch and international, across many genres.
