Toubab Krewe

Video shoot on the Niger R in Bamako photo by Dave Suskind

Billboard Magazine: 
"...[Toubab Krewe] has essentially created the intersection of West African traditional music and American rock." 

JamBase:
"the next surefire stars of our scene."

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

The New Yorker:
"Their music avoids cliché with authentic extrapolations of traditional Manding beats, percussion, and a jam-band flare."






A very special thanks to the members of Toubab Krewe for allowing all of the media in this post
