CD Reviews

“Whether you’re driving a bush taxi into Banjul or a Massey Ferguson (tractor) to Belmullet, ‘De jimbe’ is a prerequisite as a musical companion as well as an important musical artefact.”
John O Regan, Irish Music Magazine
---------------------------

“De jimbe are a band whose music reflects the cultural diversity that is Ireland, and particularly Dublin, at the beginning of the new Millennium.... their music more than matches their ethos...grab a copy of the CD, turn the stereo up loud, and shake and groove your way around the house."
Pat Mahoney, Dublin Event Guide
---------------------------

"The drumming is feverish and climatic in the very best tradition... De jimbe are all about harmonies of a thousand years and a thousand miles."
Connall Quinn, Metro Eireann
---------------------------

"Six years old and this percussive collective is finally rising to a gallop. De jimbe have managed to coral their identity with a mixed collection of beats and bodhran challenging rhythms...... ... definitely a palate teasser.”
Siobhan Long, Irish Times
