Wassalou

 

Wassalou is an Afropop band that presents a unique talent to the North American cultural landscape. It's the only band of its kind in Florida, bringing language, colorful traditional costuming and dance straight out of Africa. Their repertoire includes Hi-Life, Afro 6/8, Soukous and other popular African dance music similar to that which can be heard on Paul Simon's Graceland album.
