   About Toubab Krewe

Toubab Krewe "Buncombe to Badala (B2B)" from Toubab Krewe on Vimeo

Blending American and West African influences into a sound all its own, Toubab Krewe has set "a new standard for fusions of rock 'n' roll and West African music" (Afropop Worldwide).

Since forming in 2005, the magnetic instrumental quintet has won a diverse and devoted following at performances everywhere from Bonnaroo to the legendary Festival of the Desert in Essakane, Mali, the most remote festival in the world. The band 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.

But the group has its roots in Asheville, NC, where many of its members were childhood friends and long-term musical collaborators. It was at home in the Appalachians, where the band recorded their sophomore album, Live at the Orange Peel. Produced by Grammy winning producer Steven Heller (who also produced the band's debut), the new album captures their outstanding 2008 New Year's run.

All of the songs are previously unreleased and continue to mix American rock with the West African musical traditions the band fell in love with on their travels. Along the way, they explore the worlds of surf and zydeco, fusing it all together into what the Village Voice describes as "a futuristic, psychedelic, neo-griot frenzy" and Honest Tune hails as "one of the most innovative voices in music today." The new release features collaborations with legendary spoken word artist Umar Bin Hassan of The Last Poets and fiddler Rayna Gellert of Uncle Earl.

Toubab Krewe at Bonnaroo 2006:


Toubab Krewe drops the heat this summer with "Fire," a new song recorded at legendary reggae artist Earl "Chinna" Smith's front porch home-studio in Kingston, Jamaica. Joining Toubab Krewe on the track is Jamaican singer Lukani, Earl “Chinna” Smith (guitar) and Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace (drums). The single is streaming and available for free-download exclusively here at www.myspace.com/toubabkrewe.

Chinna will join Toubab Krewe at select tour dates this summer, including shows in New York City for the 1st annual Toubab Kruise aboard the Rocks OFF boat (7/15), Cabot, VT at Festivus for the Restivus (7/17-18), Floyd, VA at Floyd Fest (7/24-25), and a two night run in Atlanta (7/31-8/1).

Here's a short video Toubab Krewe put together from their time hanging with Chinna and friends in Jamaica:

Hello friends-
Hard to believe that we are 8 days out till Bear Creek and only 7 days till the pre-festival kickoff party. Just wanted to remind everyone that Bear Creek tickets will increase in price from $140 to $155 tomorrow, November 6. They will be $165 at the gate. VIP tickets are $275 and will remain at that price until the gates open, when they will jump to $350.
Also, we will be hosting a special Bear Creek Saturday Night Costume Contest at the festival. Please dress up and help us keep the spirit of Halloween and Friday the 13th kicking during the festival
See you in a week.
