Florida Jammy Award Winner - Best Worldbeat Band 1994

"The Baboons like to call their music 'urban tribal Afro-Cuban
funk-n-roll,' but it should really be classified as 'everything but the kitchen sink.' From airy rockers worthy of Carlos Santana to percussive jams, their tunes incorporate a number of incongruous sounds that, under their direction and care, are collected into a harmonious whole. The Baboons make unabashedly happy music that is easy to enjoy and difficult to criticize. The quintet, led by singer Majica, has been around for a minute (its last album, Global Gumbo, was released in 2000), so it knows how to move a crowd." - New Times Miami, 5/13/04

"A gem of a band." - Miami Herald

"The Baboons are definitively Miami: rife with multiculturality, shirtless and shoeless sand-kicking fun, consistent unpredictability, cramped clutches of hyperactivity.What the tropically topical outfit has been doing for years is generating soul-stirring, ass-shaking music that only a birdbrain would try to pigeonhole." - Greg Baker, Street, Miami

"Ultra-rhythmic, multicultural, eclectic. One of the city's most
promising acts." - New Times Miami

"Defies all categories.notorious.infectiously percussive" - City Link, Broward

"The 'boons have released.two CDs, but despite the merits of the
recordings, particularly the masterful new release Global Gumbo, it
remains their live shows that cream collective musical jeans. All this
gifting locals with mad party, half spectacle, half joyful orgy live
performances has grown the 'boons in size and exuberance." - Greg Baker, Street, Miami

Hmmm... sounds like fun. We'll be on the mainland, anyway. What's cover and parking sitch like?

[endymion]

Parking at Tobacco Road is really really easy, there is a secure free lot with a full-time security guard that's full of Jaguars and Mercedes and Bimmers.

Tonight is on the patio outside and I'm not absolutely certain but I think that there is no cover.

from what i remember drinks there are quite strong....unlike the watered down crap you get at some SoBe spots...at $13 a pop

[endymion]

Strong, cheap drinks, friendly non-SouthBeach people, and an open-air live world jazz funk show. It will be a good night I promise. This crowd is a lot of fun.

I heard them play 3 years ago.
Great band...I have a copy of "Global Gumbo"

MAJICA is beautiful.....
