Colorado Daily has a story on Asheville's Toubab Krewe, who are currently on tour in Colorado:
The Republic of Mali: A West African country in the southern Saraha where much of the population lives below the international poverty level.
Asheville, North Carolina: A slightly Boulderish, middle-class city that "Good Morning America" this year named one of the "10 Most Beautiful Places in America."
The two places have essentially nothing in common, except the music of Toubab Krewe. The instrumental quintet has been melding music from the two regions for over a decade now, bringing together African drums and a rock 'n' roll drum kit, the kora and the electric bass,the kamelengoni and the electric guitar. ...
