Toubab Krewe is known for fusing American instrumental tunes with the music and instruments of Mali, including the kora (a 21-string harp-lute), soku (horsehair fiddle), African percussion, and more. They were founded in Asheville, NC, in 2005, releasing their self-titled debut album the same year. Their second album, TK2, was released in 2010 on the Nat Geo Music label. Toubab Krewe also frequently travels to West Africa to collaborate with local musicians. Their touring around the US is also extensive, having played festivals such as Bonnaroo, MerleFest, MagnoliaFest, and the Rothbury Music Festival.
