(pardon me while I go and sway to the rythme)
Isn't it odd? This guy could be Muslim for all I know. *sigh*
Okay back to swaying to the rythme...
Would you believe my white, Jewish husband introduced me to this music? Its so funny. When we just got married it was as if marrying a black girl gave him "permission" to play this kind off music loud. I was nervous the neighbor would think I was pulling him away from living piously or whatever. Ugh! those days of keeping up with the Jones.
Now, as I love doing with things I enjoy, I must pick it apart and enjoy every piece of it...
I REALLY like their clothing! Its a bit of a ragamuffin look, LOL!!! But it suits them. I guess I dress sort of ragamuffiny in my own way-- I sort of dress like the settlers who live in the settlements (somewhat. My wardrobe is in transition from Chareidi to simply me-ness- which happens to look alot like the settlers):

I liked the addition of that older man who played the violin and xylaphone. He is not on the CD and maybe not part of the original Bamada group. But he knows his stuff. I imagine them talking to each other in creole-- but of course they speak in their own language. They are from Mali.
I liked the way they play with each other on the stage.
One of the guys seem to have a kippa! Maybe.....?? lol!
Anyway, enjoy!
