Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.The London-based quintet Fofoulah (meaning u201cit's thereu201d in Wolof) was formed in 2011 and features Tom Challenger (Red Snapper) on saxophone and keyboards, Phil Stevenson (Iness Mezel) on guitar, Johnny Brierley (Outhouse Ruhabi) on bass, Dave Smith (Robert Plantu2019s Sensational Space Shifters) on drums, and Kaw Secka (Irok) on Sabar drums.

rrWith the rhythms of the Sabar drums - a traditional form of Wolof drumming from Gambia and Senegal u2013 at its heart, Fofoulahu2019s music has evolved into an inspired cosmopolitan mxe9lange that also incorporates elements of electronic music, dub, improvisation and afro-rock. Like the complex city they live in, their music is shaped and lifted by diverse sound-worlds and cultures.

rrProduced by drummer Dave Smith (Robert Plant, JuJu) u2018FOFOULAHu2019 is a previously unvisited crossroads where Sabar rhythms meet dub basslines and sci-fi synths; liquid melodies and Wolof rap entangle with trance-like dance grooves; and raw guitars, horns and samples blend with west and north African song forms.

rrFofoulah is not merely a cross-cultural project. They are a dynamic band born naturally out of personal friendships and varied backgrounds, the nerve net of contemporary London and the post-global interconnectedness we all experience daily. The band is propulsive, innovative, celebratory and always leaning forward. They are a thrilling extension of the deeply rooted Sabar rhythms upon which their music revolves. rru201cLets join together, leave conflict and work together.
