[EdotAnonymous]

Its amazing what you can do with some bits of wood, string and sellotape

[peacechick45]

look at those instruments!

[yesnokeigh]

this music sounds like an imaginary place that exists in my head... like if west africa and some swamp in louisiana were in the same place at the same time

Incredible and a sound that tickles the inner sanctum!

Looks like musical imperialism to me. White boys take black boys instruments and use them to make a mashup.

@nickt1y

I thought that might be the case when I first came across them. But for the past decade, they've spent a good bit of time each year in Mali and other West African countries studying with, and performing with, African musicians. If it's okay with guys who used to play with Ali Farka Toure, it's okay with me.

@drz61 Roger that drz61. nickt1y out.

[prAna530]

@nickt1y Your ignorance is remediable.

[SuperLimms]

@nickt1y you are a nutter. if one shud stop using somebody else's the world wudnt move. Be positive and appreciate if u dont move to another thing. Am an african, discovered them a week ago and am madly in love. Will buy their everything, wish they come to the UK.

[TheShadowlin]

@nickt1y musical imperialism would be making YOU play western music - like classical - using your own instruments, or like in China where they taught Chinese in the 1800s to play classical music for their own benefit. Don't be so biased one way or the other, you'll miss the beauty of life.

[tuttle607]

@nickt1y actually looks like different people diggin the same groove you fuckin mook

[nickt1y]

@tuttle607 it was a fucking joke.

[alexn159]

this band is so sick, talk about diversity in music and culture - awesome

[jsmorman]

check them out at the Rocks off Boat cruise July 16th in NYC

[justinxengland]

this song is like the mythical sirens that lure you in haha. its so powerfu...

[msively]

ohhhh cool.

[rjc771177]

This tune really reminds me of smokestack Lightning from the Grateful Dead. Until 3:18 that is.

[drewback]
