Tok Tok Tok - Reach Out...And Sway Your Booty

On Thursday Benjamin and I went to a concert at the jazz bar Unterfahrt. The band playing was Tok Tok Tok. The singer Tokunbo Akinro and the saxophonist Morten Klein (tok tok tok’s two bandleaders), founded the band in 1998. They play groovy, funky soul music. I had one cd already, but enjoyed them a lot more live.
We had seats in the first row and had a great time. It was the best concert I have been to in the past years. I bought 2 cds (I wish, Reach out ... and sway your booty), got some autographs and went home happy.





You can also listen to more music on MySpace Tok Tok Tok.
