About ChopTeeth
"Thunderous...potent. Chopteeth's debut CD takes the band from upbeat Swahili lyrics over a South African pulse one second, to spaghetti Western-inspired instrumentals the next. True to the political essence at the heart of Fela's music." —Billboard
"Hip-shaking debut album truly has a jazz-without-borders frame of mind." —Montreal Gazette
“Wonderfully fresh. With absolutely no reservations, this is an outright success." —Allmusic.com
"Raging guitars and rich, swaggering horns. Propulsive.” —The Boston Globe
"A hip-shakin, gotta-party, Afrofunk sensation. They cook. They dance. The organs are fat. The horn section is beastly. And the protest (”Struggle”) generally takes a backseat to the party ("Upendo”). Their LP is called Afrofunk Big Band. It’s great." —Washington City Paper
That seems like a great cause. You should provide information on how to donate to this cause.
