“A storming powerhouse of big-band African funk, Chopteeth is smart, tight and relentlessly driving.

Only the most determined stoics will be able to resist the grooves conjured up by Chopteeth.”

—Baltimore Magazine

"It’s as if Tower of Power resurrected as Afrofunk.”
—Albuquerque Journal

“Wonderfully fresh…Chopteeth can lock into a groove and hold it tight, but still give the feeling of freedom. This is music that makes you want to move.”
