In Holland ist diese junge Truppe schon ziemlich groß; sie spielen dort Clubgigs vor 1500 (jungen) Leuten. Seit diesem Jahr sind sie verstärkt international auf Tour gegangen und haben auch das deutsche Publikum schon überzeugt.
Seun Kuti, Sohn von Fela Kuti und selbst ein erfolgreicher Künstler sagt über sie:
… what really opened my eyes was playing with a band owned by a 16 year old male in Holland called ‘Jungle by Night’. It was really fascinating, the level at which they were familiar with the music. I doubt if we have teenagers aged sixteen in Nigeria who can do same. Not necessarily Afro-beat music but any other good music. (…) to see people of that young age understanding Afro-beat to that level is just wonderful and impressive showing that we in Nigeria have a lot of work to do in order to catch up.
