Dusu Mali Band
Dusu Mali takes the percussive elements of traditional Malian rhythms and splices it with thick grooves of reggae, psychedelic rock, blues, and back again. Songs erupt out of the gate with positive energy, only to give way to extended fusion jams with a foundation of repetition that accentuates the djembe downbeats and the simultaneously fluid and turbulent guitar.
