Be ready to dance as we take a musical trip around the world with the eclectic stylings of Watcha Clan.

True nomads in the world of music, and based in Marseilles, France, Watcha Clan searches for space and freedom.  With a socially progressive agenda and a complex tapestry of musical styles, they combine Eastern European melodies with Algerian blues, cherifian grooves and hip-hop to form music that sings with the freedom of travelling people.

"Watcha Clan is one of the most exciting bands I've seen on the world music circuit.  They were controlled chaos in action- at times sounding Balkan, others Brooklyn and then Egyptian.  There were also Moroccan rhythms and Sufi trance mixed with the electronica.  For all the reasons I've mentioned this shouldn't work- but it does.  It is the talents of these musicians and their magentic and charismatic presence that makes it so." - NPR Music
