Now for something completely different. Have a listen, you’ll be glad you did. Here are a few press quotes from their site:

Press Quotes:

“Toubab Krewe has such a visceral, ear-yanking quality that in the band’s capable hands you just might find your definitions of what is/is not rock n’ roll and worldbeat being completely rewritten. This is the sound of liberation.” – Blurt

“a futuristic, psychedelic, neo-griot frenzy.” – Village Voice

“a new standard for fusions of rock n’ roll and West African music.” – Afropop Worldwide

“one of the most innovative voices in music today.” – Honest Tune

“Their music avoids cliché with authentic extrapolations of traditional Manding beats, percussion, and jam-band flare.” – The New Yorker

“…expertly meshed surf guitar with Malian rhythmic patterns, a Dick Dale moves-to-Timbuktu experiment in Afro-California fusion.” – The Boston Herald
