Hailing from Africa, Jamaica, America, Europe and India they formed in Chicago with the idea of improvising Indian melodic and rythmic themes over reggae/funk grooves. The end result is a distinctive blend of sound which is still growing and evolving.
The band won two Chicago Music Awards for their contribution to world music quickly after forming, and released a self-titled EP. This was followed with “Uncut Roots”, their full-length debut, in 2000, and their second album “It’s About time” came out in 2003. Their third release "Yo Baba" came out in 2008.
