Drawing inspiration from all over the world, La Boum!'s music is essentially song driven, at once highly danceable and delicate.

The sound is a big one - the ten-piece group is distinguished by the guitar and voice of Tom Salter, which bring echoes of the music and musicians he has worked with in Africa, complemented by a horn section and three-piece vocal section, Wee Free.

Tom Salter worked in Mali with Ali Farka Touré in the late 1980s and subsequently performed with Ali at WOMAD in the UK. Global Warming has echoes of this work but continues to cross musical frontiers to include the folk, Latin and jazz influences of Scottish band members, including Ben Ivitsky (Eliza Carthy Band) on guitar and fiddle, Donald Hay (Mystery Juice, Sun Honey) on drums, Mary MacMaster (Poozies) and Heather Macleod (Eliza Carthy Band).

"The steamiest band North of the rainforest." (The List)

"Zimbabwean guitar pop, reggae rhythms, deep acoustic West African grooves, intriguing lyrics... backing singers who sound like Bob Marley's I Threes and a booting horn section. Who the hell are these people?" (Froots)
