Some music cannot be found on a map or within iTunes categories.  Some music seems snatched from the great, invisible substrata that runs below all human activity, a sound aching to be born without a flag or fixed allegiance – free, questing, overflowing with immediate, tangible life.  This is the music of TOUBAB KREWE, the vibrant Asheville, NC-based instrumental powerhouse that creates a sonic Pangaea that lustily swirls together rock, African traditions, jam sensibilities, international folk strains and more.  While nearly impossible to put into any box, it takes only a few moments to realize in a very palpable way that one is face-to-face with a true original who recognizes no borders in a march towards a muscular, original, globally switched-on sound.

"a futuristic, psychedelic, neo-griot frenzy." - Village Voice

“Toubab Krewe’s take on African music is about as good as it gets without buying a plane ticket” - Jon Pareles, New York Times

"a new standard for fusions of rock n' roll and West African music." - Afropop Worldwide

"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
