TOUBAB KREWE! Afrojam insanity Sept 28 @ Revival as part of the 7th Annual Small World Music Festival! ".. setting a new standard for fusions of rock 'n' roll and West African music" ~ Afropop Worldwide "Toubab Krewe's take on African music is about as good as it gets without buying a plane ticket." ~ 7 Days Magazine (Burlington, Vermont) http://www.nufunk.ca presents in association with Small World Music, ComPosition Music & Communications & Batuki Music TOUBAB KREWE http://www.toubabkrewe.com http://www.myspace.com/toubabkrewe with High Plains Drifter & DJ medicineman Sunday, September 28 @ Revival Bar 783 College St. / http:// www.revivalbar.com 416-535-7888 Doors @ 8 pm, show at 9 pm, TK @ 10 pm Tickets: $12 advance at Soundscapes, Rotate This, Slinky Music, Shanti Baba & Sonic Temple or online at http://www.smallworldmusic.com $15 at the door Special $10 advance list - email info@nufunk.ca * Part of the 7th Annual Small World Music Festival, running Sept 18-30 at venues across Toronto * For more information on Toronto's premier independent world-music celebration visit http://www.smallworldmusic.com **** About TOUBAB KREWE http://www.toubabkrewe.com http://www.myspace.com/toubabkrewe "Asheville, N.C., may not seem like a stronghold for African-rooted music, but Toubab Krewe has soaked up the patterns and rhythms of music from Mali, Zimbabwe, Congo, Brazil and the Caribbean and added a hint of Jerry Garcia’s legato guitar. One guitarist doubled on Malian instruments — kora and ngoni — and two drummers played interludes of planned unison rhythms like a Brazilian sambareggae percussion unit. Instead of free-form, jam-band leads, the guitarists expanded the songs with African-style patterns, circling and subtly shifting. The six-beat grooves sneaked up on listeners but then they took hold; midway through one song, two, then four, then dozens of dancers were suddenly bobbing to the music." ~ review of Bonnaroo Music Festival (Manchester, Tennessee) by Jon Pareles, The New York Times Since forming in 2005, this magnetic instrumental quintet from North Carolina has been credited with bridging the gap between West African and American music unlike any group before them, quickly winning a diverse and devoted following at festivals such as Bonnaroo and Voodoo festivals; and venues including the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC. Their live shows and self-titled debut album have won international acclaim from the New York Times, Global Rhythm, fRoots, NPR and more. The members of Toubab Krewe developed their unique sound over the course of numerous extended trips to Mali, Guinea, and Ivory Coast, where they immersed themselves in the local culture and studied and performed with luminaries such as Lamine Soumano, Vieux Kante, Madou Dembele and Koungbanan Conde. In 2007 the band played at the the legendary Festival of the Desert in Essakane, Mali, known as the most remote festival in the world. The band is finishing up its new album with Grammy winning producer Steven Heller. **** About High Plains Drifter http://www.highplainsdrifter.ca Led by Toronto guitarist & promoter Jay Cleary alongside a rotating cast of artists, High Plains Drifter is a rootsy funk-rock and worldbeat ensemble whose dynamic live performances have captivated audiences at clubs and festivals across Canada.

The tragic and premature death of Peter Tosh on September 11, 1987 has robbed the world of a great reggae artist and political activist. Peter Tosh was one of the most militant reggae recording artists, his name, face and songs stand as a symbol of inspiration to people around the world. PETER TOSH, BOB MARLEY, and BUNNY LIVINGSTONE were the co-founders of the greatest reggae group of all time "THE WAILERS." As always, we are looking forward to your support on SATURDAY, the 11th Day Of October to celebrate the life and legacy a of true reggae legend. Non- perishable food donation will go towards the El Mocambo's in House Charity Serving Charity. The House of David Gang www.myspace.com/houseofdavidgang The House of David Gang is a Toronto-based reggae outfit that delivers late 70s and early 80s style Jamaican reggae originals mixed with folk, soul, calypso, afrobeat, hip hop as well as classic reggae material of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. Formed in Toronto over 15 years ago, the band is fronted by seasoned reggae veteran King Selah – a fixture of the Canadian Jamaican Reggae scene - and members have included members of Resinators, Irie Band, Explorer Band, Revelation, Selassie I Power, High Plains Drifter, Imagine Rainbow Warriors and many others. At the young age 17, Desmond Anderson moved to Canada from his home in Portland, Jamaica. He was immediately taken in by the gospel community and sang for many years in church and festival choirs. Upon staring his own group which he called “Selahâ€, Desmond Anderson become the voice of a resurgence of a roots rock style in Toronto playing frequently at the Bambu, Lee’s Palace, and El Mocambo. In 1988, two local bands, (Selah and Imagine Rainbow Warriors) merged together. Desmond became King Selah, the powerful lead vocalist with a heart of gold and the band was now called: “House of David Gang†- named after a Queen Street West house those very members shared and used to the host after-hour reggae parties 1988 -1995. Over several years many musicians have been a part of The House of David and the group played a key role in developing some of Toronto's top session and reggae players. For the past 15 years King Selah and the House of David Gang have hosted the Toronto Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer Tributes which have helped bring spotlight Toronto's burgeoning roots rock reggae scene. Now with a new line-up the House of David Gang faithfully recreates the soulful and classic roots rock reggae sound (Bob Marley, Bunny Wailer, Peter Tosh). The band is a certifiable reggae orchestra; the band comprises multiple vocalists, horn players, guitars, keyboards and the rock-steady rhythm section of Collin "Jah-Lin" M. Edwards - (drums) and Uncledropsi (bass). Rasta Reuben & Selassie I Power www.reggaeplanet.ca As a child in Jamaica, Rasta Reuben wrote poetry and listened to music from his father's record collection. After moving to Canada, he joined the Toronto scene as a skilled bass player and vocalist with Selah Band, Imagine Rainbow Warriors, Ultra Flex, Ras Ivan, and Revelation with whom he performed in the 1990 Caribana Parade. In 1992 he formed Selassie I Power Band, the prescient roots rock reggae powerhouse that was to include two of his brothers Fredlocks on Keyboards and Uncledropsi on bass. Reuben took centre stage with the new band, singing his words in the compelling voice of a reggae prophet to the vocal accompaniment of Sister Julie, a woman whose voice is as beautiful as her heart. In 1997, the band put out King of Kings CD and captured a Canadian Urban Music Award for Best Reggae Album in 1998. That same year they began to tour, ultimately crossing the country and opening for Burning Spear, Beenie Man and other respected reggae artists. Selassie I Power went back into the studio in 2003 to record a new album of Reuben's songs, Reggae Planet, to be followed by a world tour. Dedicated to the concept of Edu-tainment, Rasta Reuben's lyrics express modern fears and strivings conquered by the timeless powers of love, freedom and redemption. Those who have seen Reuben in concert are overwhelmed by the total experience of pure inspiration carried on a reggae soundwave that grooves the body, moves the heart, and improves the mind. Fredlocks Asher www.myspace.com/fredlocksashertheultraflexcrew Fredlocks Asher spent his early years in Jamaica, before immigrating with his family to Toronto, Canada. He studied many instruments including drums, bass, and even clarinet prior to specializing as a keyboard player. Fredlocks is a dynamic performer, but his heart is in composition and studio production. He served his apprenticeship with Bob Simpson at Jah Studio in Toronto where he learned to craft a musical idea into a full-fledged, well-produced song. Fredlocks Asher's first full-length album, Wisdom, garnered nominations at the Canadian Reggae Music Awards in 2001. He completed his instrumental Dub Life in 2004, and followed up with a compilation album titled Ultra Flex Volume One that showcases his production skills. He is now at work on a dancehall and dub release, Race: The Final Frontier. This event is promoted by www.nufunk.ca
