Jaalolu is founded to help empower African musicians who for many years hardly benefit from their creations. Most of the artists’ only have one income stream which is from live performances. At Jaalolu, we are able to publish their recordings to over 200 digital platforms including Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Boomplay, etc. By publishing their works, we ensure they are protected from any misuse or copyright infringement.
Starting with The Gambia, our unique catalogue features works from artists such as the late Tatadindin Jobarteh dubbed (Jimi Hendrix of the Kora), the King of Kora Jaliba Kuyateh, Jah Cause Abuke Chabu (Manjago artist from The Gambia), Big Carlos (Creole and Portuguese Afro-Pop singer from Guinea Bissau), EMO.K (Sierra Leonean Afro-Pop singer based in The Gambia) and Halifa (Gambian Afrobeats artist based in Scotland).
We understand this is new to many African artists and the costs involved always discourages them from engaging with music publishers. However, to ensure our clients make the most of our services, we offer a bespoke service to every client depending on their needs. Our aim is to make the process as smooth as possible, ironing out any barriers stopping African creatives from publishing their music.
