about

The debut "Afromericana" EP from this cross-cultural trio of veteran touring musicians. Blending West African music, old time American tunes, and spirited originals – with hoppin' grooves, tons of musical dialogue and tasty improvisational shenanigans. An upbeat blend of kamale ngoni (West African hunter's harp), guitar, percussion, fiddle, mandolin and songs in two languages.
