Called “Dakar’s answer to Black Star” by Time Out NY, the group was named best African act at the BBC Radio World Music Awards in 2004. The album “Boomerang” has spent months on the top of the European world music charts. Last year the band played at the Hollywood Bowl next to Nigerian superstar Femi Kuti and Mos Def.

“This music is called Assiko. Everybody goes to the stadium. There is a big choir. Everybody sings. All together. And the supporters used to play a specific drum called: Assiko. That´s what it is all about.”

It’s an aberration that the President of the United States endorses a mosque so close to the biggest and most atrocious terrorist act in the history of the World!It’a spit in the face of the people that died there in horror; their families, and the rest of us Americans. It is unacceptable!We should wait until the mosque is finished, and then blow it up while all the Muslims are in there praying!!! See how they feel about that
