Blending Malian, Surf, and "Dirty South" influences into a genre all its own, Asheville’s own Toubab Krewe "has set a new standard for fusions of rock ‘n’ roll and West African music," says reporter Banning Eyre at Afropop Worldwide. Members of the group developed their unique sound over the course of numerous extended trips to West Africa, where they immersed themselves in the local culture and studied and performed with masters of the form. Their magnetic instrumental quintet attracted a diverse and devoted national fan base, captivating crowds everywhere from the Bonnaroo Music Festival and Blue Note to the Black Repertory Theatre and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Their energetic performances and acclaimed self-titled debut have won them praise from the New York Times, Global Rhythm and Afropop Worldwide.
