Mamadou & Sama Yoon band was founded in 2014 on initiative of Senegal artist Mamadou Diouf and saxophonist Grzegorz Rytka. The formation was joined by Patrycja Napierała, Ania Patynek, Michał Marecki and Paweł Mazurczak (musicians known for performing with famous Warsaw bands such as T.Love, Kapela ze wsi Warszawa and Kayah & Transoriental Orchestra).

Song's lyrics are mostly in Wolof language (native language of Mamadou Diouf). They are about nostalgy, love, tradition, seeking knowledge and about paying respect to other people.

Sama Yoon in Wolof means "my way", "my choice". The way, which musicians are travelling by leads through afrobeat, ethno, folk and reggae. Yet, the number of genres should not be suprising due to individuality and experience of all band members.
