Jomapel Yankee

Jomapel Yankee—born Abdulai Sheriff Tarawally—is a Sierra Leonean artist with charisma to spare and a story stitched together by rhythm, migration, and reinvention. The name “Yankee” nods not to America, but to his longtime allegiance to the New York Yankees baseball club. Early in his music journey, he’d often introduce himself with a cheeky “Je m’appelle Yankee,” a phrase that morphed into the stage name he proudly carries today.
