A map would be such a better description of these guys. From my quick glance at the map they are straight from the middle of the Sahara desert. God knows where they got the high quality sound systems and electric guitars. That aside, it is possibly some of the best "fusion" I have ever heard. The only time I imagine anyone thinking of African hymns with electric guitar was while they were super stoned being absorbed by the couch talking to their friends. Check out the photo attached, these guys are unique.

Under-rated International Rock Bands
In no particular order, here are the best and most under rated rock bands I've had the pleasure to stumble upon. Hopefully one day I will have at least one band for all 196 countries…
