"Davis-based !Akimbo expand the definition of world beat from its trademark Afro-Caribbean rhythms into a multicultural jive so dizzying that it exceeds the limitations of one stage."
The Beat (International World Music Magazine):
"!Akimbo live would be a blast. Those who like their world music influences shaken, not merely stirred, should give these Californians a try….has a beautiful touch with authentic-sounding African pop songs.”
Dirty Linen (International World Music magazine):
"!Akimbo's world fusion sounds as effortless as it does jubilant. !Akimbo is a tight, creative young band that sounds like they would have no trouble filling the dance floor all night long."
Steve Milne from NPR, Sacramento:
"Akimbo, the Sacramento area's premier world music band, just keeps getting better and better. Akimbo prove they can handle intricate rhythms that move the body as well as write attractive melodies that inspire us to sing."
Sacramento Magazine:
"!Akimbo blends soukous, Afro-beat, zydeco, reggae, Celtic and rock beats into a refreshing new mix. The result is a richly layered, and by turns hauntingly emotive and irresistibly upbeat type of music that moves your soul while begging your feet to dance."
