Three more, African rhythms

And then I'll give it a rest before I get kicked outta here.

The long, the short, and the mid of it.
Probably some of these already known by people on TB.

from 8 days ago as of this posting....
you might not know of this one.
 
Wow, Jerry, thanks for this.
First time I've seen a Morrocan-elements band that comes more over onto the side of western rock, but they still retain the Moroccan feeling. And..never seen a Morrocan straight up band with even one bass (usually the sintir comes closest to filling that role). These guys are good.

You probably already know this guy. Yosi Fine on bass here. :

Well heck yeah! That Latin touch added to the Afro-beat.
Fantastic!
Makes me recall....I stumbled across a style out of Colombia about 2-3 years ago.
Wild images, heavier on the Colombian percussion and what were probably Indian-influenced drum patterns.
I tried to find them again a couple of months ago without luck.
(If I can find them, I'll post.)
But this...so good!
The guitar and brass/reeds..TIGHT!
They really got the Fela feel inside and gave it their own signature.
That's what it's about.
Thanks!
