Toubab Krewe: official website; myspace; Blending Malian, American and "Dirty South" influences into a sound
all its own, Toubab Krewe "has set a new standard for fusions of rock
'n' roll and West African music," says Banning Eyre at Afropop
Worldwide.

Since forming in early 2005, the magnetic instrumental quintet has
been credited with bridging the gap between West African and American
music unlike any group before them, quickly winning a diverse and
devoted following at top venues such as the Bonnaroo and Vegoose
festivals to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Their
live shows and self-titled debut album have won international acclaim
from the New York Times, Global Rhythm, fRoots, NPR and more.

The members of Toubab Krewe developed their unique sound over the
course of numerous extended trips to Mali, Guinea, and Ivory Coast,
where they immersed themselves in the local culture and studied and
performed with luminaries such as Lamine Soumano, Vieux Kante, Madou
Dembele and Koungbanan Conde. The band kicked off 2007 in Essakane,
Mali, where they played the legendary Festival of the Desert, known as
the most remote festival in the world.

The band is currently working on their sophomore album with Grammy
winning producer Steven Heller, slated for an early 2008 release.
