01 · The name
Sunnu
Our.
“Sunnu” means “our” in Wolof.
Bang
Our band. Our energy. Our music.
Sunnubang speaks of our band: several voices, several histories, one wish to play together.
02 · How it started
We come from several places. We met in Algiers.
Students, several countries, several histories. Algiers is our meeting point: our paths crossed there, and music gave us a shared wish — to start a band.

- 01Congo-Brazzaville
- 02Algeria
- 03Uganda
- 04Mali
- 05Zimbabwe

The list grows as the band grows.
03 · The collective
The story is starting.
The members will be revealed gradually. The first compositions, images and encounters will follow their own path. The collective is taking the time to build something that looks like it.
- Faces
- Tracks
- Encounters
