Sheffield's famous JuJu Club is back ..with Baka Beyond, one of the best known global music bands and the first band to put together African and Celtic music with amazing results..

Band members hail from Brittany, Cameroon, Sierra Leone, Ghana and Britain.
They create a uniquely uplifting and seamless blend of African rhythms and Celtic melodies which defy anyone to sit still!

Baka Beyond are also special because they they keep a unique relationship with the Baka Pygmies who live deep in the forests of Cameroon. The band send royalties to help with development projects and have organised tours with some of the Baka people.
The band are supported by three of the UK's best loved global music djs, Andy healey (Africabeat/Sheffield Live 93.2fm), The DisOrientalist & Papa Al (JuJu/Sheffield Live 93.2fm) and the amazing singer Mim Suleiman from Zanzibar via Sheffield.
