  • this band has, without question, the best rhythm section i’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing. the drummer and bassist go so far beyond the concept of “in the pocket” that they’re practically sewing the pants. it’s the most incredible chemistry between players i’ve ever seen

  • everyone here is absolutely slaying their instrument and just crushing their role within the band... casual observers might think that Mdou's lead guitar or Souleymane Ibrahim's drums are the most difficult to play, but the lightning fast hands of Ahmoudou Madassane's rhythm guitar and Mike Coltun's unrelenting hammer fingers at the bass (both of which are utterly machine-like in their constant precision) are at least equally astounding.. Afrique Victime might be the most unique, distinctive, and inspired electric musical fusion to be recorded in at least the last 10 to 15 years... I don't have enough standing ovations to give this band; absolutely incredible

And that drummer he's on fire SOLID. That bass player has a very good groove flawless. and the second guitarist is perfect supporting the structure of the compositions he knows exactly how important that is.
