“Mbongwana Star (‘Mbongwana’ meaning ‘change’) are a newly formed band from Kinshasa, Congo. Tired of the pre-conceptions around African music, they’re creating their own identity, fusing traditional Congolese rhythms with post punk and electronics. Full of energy and utterly original, here’s a brand new track from their forthcoming album.”
Liking the trippy psychedelic grooves. On the wish list.
It’s great to learn that Congolese musicians are fighting against ‘pre-conceptions’ about African music.
And what, with all the heinous activity happening out it’s great to hear such well crafted music. Enjoy!
