By asking about a single specific band made up of musicians from Senegal and Togo that mixes disparate and distinct musical genres from three continents, yeah, I'm totally talking about "their cultures [sic] music".

 

[TourbillonTurk.]

WOW :O care to give me any other information about the group? i.e favorite sex positions. Calm down my friend, it was a genuine question

I dream of a shining day when human beings of all nations, all cultures and all races will join together to create a music that will bore the tears out of you.

 

[texas_jack]

Yeah it's good stuff and for the dude above, their culture isn't Cuban but they play Cuban music. Which, of course has roots in Africa but you know.

Dude...Tagut...you produce Drum and Bass. Any standing you had to make any criticisms of any music has long since flown out the window with the speed of a large hurricane.

not sure since it was from 2004. i think VH1 had it on their site but youtube may be the best bet now.

Yes, do like a lot. Especially their 'hommage to Tonton Ferrer', which is a great mix of African and Cuban music. Also dig their tune called 'Boulmamine'.
