Dancing Devils of Djibouti

“The Dancing Devils of Djibouti celebrates the first recording to emerge with international distribution from the East African nation of Djibouti. Its significance lies not just in its musical innovation—a joyous fusion of Somali, Bollywood, funk, jazz, and local sounds—but in the historic breakthrough that saw state musicians step onto a global stage after decades of political barriers. The album reveals Djibouti as a secret hotbed of musical goodness, a crossroads of cultures, and a testament to how creativity thrives under constraints.” - All About Jazz
