about

A double disc set, CD and DVD - In the wake of the Konono N.1 album, comes a fresh selection of even more amazing sounds, courtesy of no less than seven electro-traditional bands from Kinshasa, all especially recorded and produced by Crammed’s Vincent Kenis :

Sobanza Mimanisa - Kasai Allstars - Kisanzi Congo - Masanka Sankayi - Bolia We Ndenge - Basokin -
Konono N°1 - Tulu
These bands all draw on traditional trance music, to which they’ve incorporated heavily-distorted sounds generated by DIY amplification of their instruments... just like Konono N°1, except that, as the musicians come from various geographical and cultural backgrounds (Kasai, Lake Mai Ndombe, Bacongo province), they use very diverse rhythms, timbres and instrumentation: the trademark electrified thumb pianos and megaphones are joined by an array of buzzing drums, swirling guitars and hypnotic balafons.
