Benyoro

New York, New York

In the Bamana language of Mali, Benyoro means meeting place, and that’s exactly what this band is. Based in New York City, Benyoro brings together Malian and American musicians versed in the music of Malian jelis (praise musicians), but who also have a desire to modernize it. The result is a unique renewal of an ancient tradition that packs dance floors wherever the band goes.
