Cribabi is a new band formed by Japanese singer and guitarist Yukari Fujiu and Andy Cox (The Beat & The Fine Young Cannibals). Yukari Fujiu fronted the all-girl outfit, The Groopies and has had two solo albums released in Japan to great acclaim. Following the demise of The Fine Young Cannibals she and Andy met up and started to write songs together. This, their debut CD, exhibits the best of East and West. For example, they integrate guitar and drums with sitar or gamelan and Arabic percussion. From the edgy assult of "Cry" to the classic song writing of "Breakfast Show” and "Beautiful Mistake", Cribabi spans pop's global village.
