Their music interweaves complex and forceful rhythms and is carried by the melodic lines of balafons, flute and koras. The
songs are played on traditional instruments while their lyrics deal with present issues of African realities in a critical though hopeful way.
Integrating new orchestral forms and melodies, and adding contemporary sounds (guitar and keyboard) for several years, traditional instruments like balafons, koras, flute, djembes, tama, and baras
still remain the core and hearth of their music. Last but not least, the arrival of a female voice introduces a new colour to this up till now male only ensemble.
