🔥 Modern Instrumental music driven by electric guitar and African percussion – a fusion of Western rock energy and deep African grooves.

BA BALANCE is a duo formed by Danish guitarist Preben Carlsen and Gambian percussionist Sal Dibba, blending effect-driven guitar, looping textures, and pulsating African rhythms with blues, rock, and jazz influences.

🎶 "Like an African White Stripes" (Songlines, UK) – their interplay fuses modern stereo guitar soundscapes with ancient percussion traditions. Their debut album Around The Crocodile Pond (2020) landed on the World Music Charts Europe Top 20.

⚡ In 2025, they began a new collaboration with bassist/producer Laust Krudtmejer Nielsen, pushing their sound further.
