With full, immersive set design and décor, and a soundtrack spanning old and new sounds of Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Middle East and beyond, Samedia has proven a big hit with people at clubs and festivals.

Introducing Samba Sene & Diwan - a diverse international collection of musicians, who share a global outlook and love of West African rhythms. Exuberant fusion of funky mbalax/Afrobeat grooves, with undercurrents of ska and reggae; original songs with impassioned vocals, infectious guitar licks and irresistible dance grooves.

Musician Samba Sene was born in Dakar, Senegal, and moved to Scotland in 2000, where he settled in Edinburgh. A charismatic singer, his style is strongly influenced by a wide range of music, from traditional to funk, rock and ska. His influences include former mentor Baaba Maal, Bob Marley, Van Morrison, Paul Simon, Alpha Blondy and Aswad. Original songs cover a range of subjects including love, equal rights and outright celebration. Uplifting and upbeat.

We're delighted to welcome Samba Sene & Diwan to Samedia for the first time at our Hogmanay Tropical Soundclash at La Belle! Tickets moving fast!

Our Story

The Samedia Shebeen started life in 2010 as an idea for a touring festival tent, transporting late-night party people to an imaginary jungle voodoo den cm lost township shebeen. With full, immersive set design and décor, and a soundtrack spanning old and new sounds of Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, Middle East and beyond, it has proven a big hit with people at clubs and festivals. Since 2010 Samedia has toured festival across the UK, around Europe and even built a stage on the banks of the Nile at Jinja for Nyege Nyege Festival. We can be regularly found providing the tropical flavours at Boomtown, Knockengorroch and Kelburn Garden Party.
