Their energetic live shows and recently released self-titled debut album have earned the band praise from such noteworthy publications as the New York Times, Global Rhythm and Afropop Worldwide.New York Times…
” The six-beat grooves sneaked up on listeners but
then they took hold; midway through one song, two, then four, then
dozens of dancers were suddenly bobbing to the music”
Jon Pareles, Chief Music Critic NYT
“This adventurous quintet out of Asheville, North Carolina has set
a new standard for fusions of Rock and Roll and West African
music…”
Banning Eyre, Afropop Worldwide.
“…These guys have put in their time and done the field work and the
result is a funky, hard hitting disc that expertly fuses elements of
rock and funk with Mali’s ‘desert blues’.”
