Ba Balance

Electric guitar meets African percussion in a musical journey of modern instrumental desert blues.

BA BALANCE is a two man band by Danish guitarist Preben Carlsen and Gambian percussion player Sal Dibba.
The duo highlights a long time cultivated interplay and keeps challenging the two old friends and experienced musicians in a common quest to make the music soar.

Their debut album ‘Around the Crocodile Pond’ received great international attention from radio stations and music critics and reached the top 20 on the World Music Charts Europe.
Ba Balance was nominated for Danish Music Awards Roots 2020 and Danish Blues Awards 2021.
