You're in a time portal that's caught between the 1960's in San Francisco and a drum circle in West Africa. The leg of your crotched bellbottoms rips and flies away and falls into a tranquil river, as the other part of you holds steadfast to a canoe. It's pleasant in this between state. On one end you hear the hiss of a hi-hat and a growling guitar-shred, and the other a mystical ebb of the kora. These notes blend into one ultimately relaxing beat. This is a little bit what it feels like to experience Toubab Krewe, a genre-bending band tearing it up since 2005. Heavily influenced by their teachers and time in Mali, Guinea, and the Ivory Coast, they create a sound stemming from traditional rhythms and songs, while simultaneously bleeding in classic rock n' roll. This evening, Toubab Krewe will be funking it up at Nietzsche's at 8 p.m. for $13 buckaroos.
