About the Release
The centerpiece debut by Aron & The Jeri Jeri Band, Dama Bëgga Ñibi is a vibrant fusion of Senegalese tradition, electronic rhythm, and emotive jazz improvisation.
Featuring vocal legend Baaba Maal and a powerhouse cast from the Jeri Jeri family, the album explores themes of home, longing, and celebration through deep grooves and layered textures.
This record is both a spiritual and physical journey — rooted in collaboration, respect, and radical rhythm.
