Toubab Krewe - 20th Anniversary - at OTP!!

doors 8:30 / music 9:30 / 21+ / $15 advance / $20 day-of-show

Toubab Krewe is coming back to OTP and we could not be more pumped. These guys do something very different, and they do it very well. The band is based around the sound of African strings and percussion. Ever heard of a Kora? It's a 21-string double-bridge harp. We have only seen this type of instrument one time at OTP, and it was back in 2018 when Toubab Krewe first played OTP. This 5-pc ensemble is truly a treat not to miss, and a rowdy night in January is just waiting to explode!!

Check out what some onlookers have to say on these guys..

"Toubab Krewe’s take on African music is about as good as it gets without buying a plane ticket."
- Jon Pareles, New York Times

"a futuristic, psychedelic, neo-griot frenzy."
- Village Voice

"a new standard for fusions of rock n' roll and West African music."
- Afropop Worldwide

"Their music avoids cliché with authentic extrapolations of traditional Manding beats, percussion, and jam-band flare."
- The New Yorker

"...expertly meshed surf guitar with Malian rhythmic patterns, a Dick Dale moves-to-Timbuktu experiment in Afro-California fusion."
- The Boston Herald
