Great news for Bamako Express: the band has been nominated in the category ‘Best Live Band’ at the Flanders Folk Awards. A strong recognition for a live act that has built an impressive reputation on both Flemish and international stages in recent years.
Bamako Express delivers an infectious blend of Western folk and West African music, where guitar and violin merge seamlessly with djembe and balafon. Their concerts are intense, rhythm-driven and immersive. Music that crosses borders and effortlessly sets audiences in motion.
The winner will be announced on 3 February at the Ancienne Belgique (AB) during the Flanders Folk Awards.
With a debut album on the way (fall 2026) and a rapidly growing live reputation, Bamako Express is ready for the next chapter. A band to watch and above all, to experience live.
