Petaw Band is like a journey that connects West Africa, Latin America and Europe. Six musicians from three continents come together to create an extraordinary and thoroughly danceable sound experience between traditional West African melodies and salsa. In the West African language Wolof, "petaw" is the word for cowrie shell. For centuries, people in various parts of the world have used them not only as jewelry, but also for spiritual rituals and as a means of exchange. It has thus become a symbol for the connection between cultures - for people who want to listen to and learn from each other. Petaw Band is part of this ancient tradition of exchange, because it sees music as a medium for passing on messages, cultural heritage and attitudes to life.
