Toubab Krewe / The London Souls

21+ with ID.

Toubab Krewe is a vibrant Asheville, NC-based instrumental powerhouse that creates a sonic Pangaea that lustily swirls together rock, African traditions, jam sensibilities, international folk strains and more. While nearly impossible to put into any box, it takes only a few moments to realize in a very palpable way that one is face-to-face with a true original who recognizes no borders in a march towards a muscular, original, globally switched-on sound.

The London Souls met for the first time on stage after having only been able to rehearse via cell phones. Despite this, they describe their first performance, saying "It was just comfortable. It was always comfortable right off the bat. From the first note it was one of those indescribable ...soulful things that you can't plan out." They shared a common bond in a deep appreciation for Led Zeppelin, Cream (band), the Beatles, and other similar artists. Their sound comes from a desire to play improvised music while keeping it accessible to most audiences.
