October / November '08 Reviews: Muse's Muse 10/26/08 - "Zanzibar is a 5 piece band from San Carlos, California that plays infectious dance grooves based on Latin, African, and world rhythms. All songs on their newest CD release, Zanzibar, were written by the band and are the kind of pulsing, organic, funky pieces that can only happen when a band finds its groove. Chris Robison plays guitar and percussion, Kerry Wing sings lead vocal as well as adding guitar and percussion. Eric Tabellion plays bass and adds back-up vocals and percussion. The drums are beaten by Tim Hilborn who also adds percussion, trumpet, and vocals. Ricardo Molina adds still more percussion and vocals while David Hipshman contributes tenor sax and flute......" more August / Sept '08 Zanzibar had a great gig at Bar of America up in Truckee.

They sound like fun, obviously have talent and enjoy what they’re doing. Upbeat Afro funk w/solid bass & horns and upbeat funk w/a good sense of style. Mid/up Latin funk, reminiscent of Santana."
