These guys caught my attention by their absolutely brilliant cover of R. Kelly's "Ignition (Remix)". I know what you must be thinking, but this is for real.

Hailing from Australia Jinja Safari play one of the coolest set of instruments I have ever seen/heard. The two songwriters travelled the world for the inspiration and, well, they did a great job. So many world music influences!

"Toothless Grin" is an exotic, warm and happy song. I am going to save you time reading this to go and check out the rest of their stuff. Read about the touching and relatable story behind "Toothless Grin" here.

PS: Looks like Jinja is actually an African town where one of the guy’s grandmother lives?!?
