Jaliya is an innovative Afro-fusion band from Berlin that combines the traditional rhythms of West Africa with the harmonic structures of jazz and modern electronic elements. Inspired by the heritage of the Griots – the West African storytellers and musicians – the band brings a sound to the stage that preserves cultural roots while breaking new musical ground.
With international members from the African, European and South American diaspora, Jaliya stands for musical and cultural exchange. Their music is a dynamic blend of complex rhythms, rousing improvisations and innovative soundscapes – influenced by greats such as Fela Kuti, Miles Davis and modern electronic pioneers.
Jaliya sees music as a bridge between tradition and modernity, as an expression of identity and as a means of promoting cultural dialogue. With every performance, they celebrate the diversity and power of music as a universal language.
