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.

sounds like I need to give them a listen!
