Songhoy Blues, one of the best Hard Rock bands going, prove me wrong

1. Thanks for turning us on to this group.

I say us because I'm "assuming" (dangerous, I know) that others haven't heard them before either. I really like their energy and the neat pauses in the syncopation, very good group for sure. Where are they from?

2. They are literally from Timbuktu

When an Al Quaida/Daesh affiliated group took over that area in Mali and banned performing music, these guys escaped to Senegal.

I think they are back in Mali now.

3. I thought they might be from somewhere in Africa based on the background, but wasn't sure.

I really do love their different beats, that's hard to do and they do it so effortlessly.

4. Prove you wrong about what?

Fantastic! Great video too.
