About
“Lamine Touré and Group Saloum kick out a hard-hitting dance mix that spans the percussive fury of Senegalese mbalax and the joyful uplift of Congolese soukous.”–Banning Eyre, Boston Phoenix
Founded by world-renowned griot percussionist Lamine Touré, Afro-pop band Group Saloum fuses Senegalese mbalax with elements of jazz, funk, reggae, and Afrobeat. Since the fall of 2002, Touré has been an artist-in-residence at MIT, where he directs the Senegalese drumming ensemble Rambax.
