The Budos Band are an "Instrumental Staten-Island Afro-Soul" outfit recording on the Daptone Records label. The band has eleven members (up to thirteen members at times) who play instrumental music that is self-described as "Afro-Soul," a term and sound which - in a recent interview - baritone saxophone player Jared Tankel elucidates as, being drawn from Ethiopian music the band had been listening to that had a soul undercurrent to it, which the band then "sprinkled a little bit of sweet 60's stuff on top" of. The first album, The Budos Band, includes special guest appearances by: NEAL SUGARMAN, Tenor Sax, Tambourine DUKE AMAYO, Congas JOHNNY GRIGGS, Cabasa DAISY SUGARMAN, Flute BOSCO MANN (a.k.a GABRIEL ROTH), Rhythm Guitar, Cowbell, Congas
