Faith In Strangers

An unforgettable evening for a new event series called Music Is Life, curated by Falle Nioke and Matt at Faith In Strangers in Margate

8pm till late

A captivating blend of traditional Senegalese music with European influences, inspired by Fula and Mandinka cultures. Led by Senegalese songwriter Abdoulaye Samb, whose heartwarming performances and vibrant energy leave audiences mesmerised, Minnjiaraby embodies the spirit of “the love of mixing” — an open celebration of Senegal’s rich cultural heritage and global influences.

Abdoulaye’s journey from a humble background in Dakar to the London music scene is one of resilience and raw talent. His first guitar, crafted from an oilcan and fishing wire, began a musical path enriched by the mentorship of legendary Griot musician Mamaya Kanoute. Today, Abdoulaye channels this legacy into powerful live performances that have touched hearts across the London circuit.

With a seven-piece lineup of skilled musicians, Minnjiaraby delivers an eclectic, soulful soundscape that is both grounded in Senegalese tradition and lifted by European sensibilities. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience Abdoulaye Samb & Minnjiaraby’s unique, soulful journey at Faith in Strangers — prepare to be moved, uplifted, and inspired.
