Congotronics

Founded 25 years ago down on the Congo Angolan border but now based in the suburbs of Kinshasa, Konono n1 are an intense, compelling and downright bizarre outfit who seem determined to turn all concepts of classic Congolese pop upside down. … “This could be one of the unexpected success of the year. Play it loud” - Guardian Music Review **** “Every so often there comes a record of such unlikeliness, of such empowering rhythmic intensity and such majestic indifference to global musical trends that you’re knocked sideways. This is one of them.” - Daily Telegraph UK, album of the week.
