▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The KONONO N░1 album (Congotronics 1) has started ▓▌
▓████▓▌ giving worldwide exposure to the strange and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ spectacular electro-traditional mixtures which are ▓▌
▓████▓▌ being concocted in the suburbs of Kinshasa, Congo. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ World music, electronica and avant-rock aficionados ▓▌
▓████▓▌ have been equally amazed by this otherworldly music ▓▌
▓████▓▌ which has driven the international press to come up ▓▌
▓████▓▌ with extremely surprising comparisons (from Can and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Krautrock to Jimi Hendrix, Lee Perry and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ proto-techno ... ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Hot on the footsteps of Congotronics 1, here 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 ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ These bands all draw on traditional trance music, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to which theyÆve incorporated heavily-distorted ▓▌
▓████▓▌ sounds generated by DIY amplification of their ▓▌
▓████▓▌ instruments... just like Konono N░1, except that, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ as musicians come from various geographical and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ cultural backgrounds (Kasai, Lake Mai Ndombe, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Bacongo province), they use very diverse rhythms, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ timbres and instruments: the trademark electrified ▓▌
▓████▓▌ thumb pianos and megaphones are joined by an array ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of buzzing drums, swirling guitars and hypnotic ▓▌
▓████▓▌ balafons. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The Congotronics 2 album includes a 41-minute DVD ▓▌
▓████▓▌ based on material filmed by Vincent Kenis while he ▓▌
▓████▓▌ recorded these bands in Kinshasa, adn edited by ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Elsa Dahmani. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The subtitle of this album hints to the legendary ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Ali-Foreman boxing fight which took place in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Kinshasa in 1974, and was nicknamed "Rumble In The ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Jungle". James Brown, BB King, Fania All Stars and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Myriam Makeba performed there around that event, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ which had a deep impact on a whole generation of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ young Congolese musicians and fans. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ About the bands ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Kasai Allstars: A province the size of France ▓▌
▓████▓▌ situated in the center of Congo, Kasai is well ▓▌
▓████▓▌ known for its diamond fields and vivid musical ▓▌
▓████▓▌ traditions. This collective of artists incorporates ▓▌
▓████▓▌ members from four different Kasaian bands, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ including Basokin and Masanka Sankayi, who also ▓▌
▓████▓▌ appear separately on this album, and personalities ▓▌
▓████▓▌ as diverse as singer Muambuyi (from West Kasai), ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and singer/dancer/slit drum player Tandjolo from ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the Tetela region (picture left). ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Masanka Sankayi: dancers, singers and story-tellers ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Muyamba Nyunyi and Kabongo Kisense from East Kasai ▓▌
▓████▓▌ have been together since the Seventies. Muyamba the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ preacher is also an excellent bass likembe player. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Unlike Konono's, his instrument is a 20" square box ▓▌
▓████▓▌ featuring half a likembe on each side and on which ▓▌
▓████▓▌ he sits in a foetus-like position. Both pieces were ▓▌
▓████▓▌ recorded at Porte Rouge, in the Matonge district. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The song in French is Kabongo's very own rendition ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of a XVIIe century fable by Jean de la Fontaine. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Sobanza Mimanisa ('orchestra of light') are the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ resident band in Nganda Boboto, in the Selembao ▓▌
▓████▓▌ district where we recorded this piece. There are ▓▌
▓████▓▌ only five instruments here: a bell, a whistle, a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ spray can being hit against a plastic beer case, a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ guitar - whose 'power chord' style is very unusual ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in Kinshasa - and a likembe which manages to play ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the bass and solo parts at the same time. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Kisanzi CongoÆs line-up is similar to KononoÆs, and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ they also come from the Bacongo province. But ▓▌
▓████▓▌ whereas Konono's electric likembes use raw power to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ carry their message, Kisanzi Congo rely more on ▓▌
▓████▓▌ virtuosity and adopt a freer form. We recorded this ▓▌
▓████▓▌ piece in a deserted shopping mall in the center of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Kinshasa, formerly called Galerie des Trois Z ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (ôZaire - our country, our river, our currencyö). ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Basokin ('the Basongye from Kinshasa') are from the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Songye region, at the Eastern fringe of Kasai. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Their frontman Mputu Ebondo 'Mi Amor' is a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ well-known spokesman for the Songye and Kasaian ▓▌
▓████▓▌ community. On this particular session, recorded at ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Porte Noire, in the Matonge district, BasokinÆs ▓▌
▓████▓▌ line-up was reduced to its essential components: ▓▌
▓████▓▌ three singers, three percussion players and two ▓▌
▓████▓▌ guitarists. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Bolia We Ndenge come from the Lake Mai Ndombe. Only ▓▌
▓████▓▌ a century ago, the whole region was still Domaine ▓▌
▓████▓▌ de la Couronne, i.e a giant labor camp for the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ personal benefit of King Leopold II. At one point, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to calm discontent, the force publique gave ▓▌
▓████▓▌ accordions to local chiefs; the idea might have ▓▌
▓████▓▌ been suggested by Stanley, an accordion aficionado ▓▌
▓████▓▌ himself. See the movie for an evocation by Bolia We ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Ndenge of this important moment in the history of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ world music; the accordion and force publique ▓▌
▓████▓▌ uniform are genuine vintage items. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Konono N░1: the band everyone raves about, from ▓▌
▓████▓▌ electronica and avant-rock aficionados to world ▓▌
▓████▓▌ music fans... The sparks which are bound to fly ▓▌
▓████▓▌ when a Congotronics band plays through a large PA ▓▌
▓████▓▌ system in front of a totally fired-up European ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (American/Asian ?) audience are clearly ▓▌
▓████▓▌ perceptµible in ½Couleur CafΘ ╗, a piece recorded ▓▌
▓████▓▌ live at the eponymous festival in Brussels during ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Konono 's summer 2005 tour, and on which founder & ▓▌
▓████▓▌ solo likembe player Mawangu Mingiedi lent his ▓▌
▓████▓▌ instrument to his son, Mawangu Makuntima. The ▓▌
▓████▓▌ tradition is in good hands! ▓▌
