Just my update  - they were fabulous and had the crowd on their feet the entire time.

Great mix of genres!  The more I hear them, the more I like them!!  Thanx RP!
Good Tune! I never heard of them before.  Thanx RP!
Nice!
Seen them live 3x. They're spellbinding. Hearing them live you'll appreciate them for life. 
I've loved these guys' music since I first heard them back in the mid-00's on The Essential Guide to World Music (2006). (Remember CDs?!?) I've seen them perform live four times now. Even if you don't understand the lyrics, their music is visceral and sublime.  Watch the video for this one here.

They don't speak English. It's not four chords. It's different.

I was supposed to be working bu this caught my ear
It got me singing along, peddling to the bass lines and the backbeat...maybe this will attain godlike status.
This Rocks!

I dig it. Thanks.
This sounds pretty cool!
