Toubab Krewe Live in New York

Our clients Toubab Krewe are world travelers who within the past couple of years have played throughout the US, the Caribbean snd West Africa, where they were special guests at Mali's Festival of the Desert, the world's remotest, a trip they document in their "Buncombe to Badala" video.

Last week, they were in New York to play a packed show at S.O.B.'s for an enthusiastically dancing crowd (another client, Jar-e, opened), about which one review said, “Toubab Krewe are what Vampire Weekend would have sounded like if their parents took away their BMWs, dosed their white wine spritzers and locked them in Fela’s basement.”

The next day, Toubab Krewe did a much more intimate performance over a pizza lunch at the SoHo offices of ADA, which is distributing their new Upstream Records release, "Live at the Orange Peel." Of course, we took a photo to commemorate the occasion:
