The band's live performances are very exciting, portraying a new musical vision of Africa, songs in English and Yoruba, scintillating guitars, where West African Guitar music meets Jazz and Rock all on top of African rhythms. A mini acoustic break, where Toby plays the flute, a second instrument he took up as a child punctuates the set. With the flute you’ll go on a mystical musical journey to traditional Yorubaland and back again. With the tour Toby treats the audience to an 8 piece group and an intimate performance. This may be the future of African music

Tonight they play from various CDs - African Festival, Pirates of Africa, Lagos Ilu Eko,  Jalolo and Here I Come.
