| | As anyone who has experienced them live or on the seminal | |
| | Congotronics LP will testify, Konono No.1 are truly one of the | |
| | most exceptional, visceral bands in the world. With a distorted, | |
| | hypnotic and utterly beguiling sound they've electrified | |
| | traditional Congolese Bazombo trance music with a backline array | |
| | of speakers salvaged from the Belgian colonnial era and | |
| | amplifiers constructed from scrapped magnets and discarded | |
| | electronics. In their home of Kinshasa, DR Congo, Konono are an | |
| | in-demand ensemble, playing to weddings and wakes alike, | |
| | upholding a folk tradition descended from septuagenarian band | |
| | leader Mawangu Mingiedi's roots in the Zombo tribe based in the | |
| | hills on the Angolan border. However, their commercial and | |
| | critical success outside their homeland far outweighs their | |
| | reputation there. For 'Assume Crash Position', their second | |
| | official album, they've worked with Belgian producer Vincent | |
| | Kenis again to create an entrancing set of eight songs, some | |
| | stretching out on a 12 minute locked groove, some sticking to an | |
| | unusually brief slot. At the core of each track are the three | |
| | likembes; modified and amplified thumb pianos set just slightly | |
| | out of tune to each other plus relentlessly hypnotic percussion, | |
| | and with this album an expanded line up of neighbourhood | |
| | musicians from a young Konono covers band, members of Kasai | |
| | Allstars, guitarist Manuaku Pepe Felly and guest vocalists. With | |
| | Kenis's production treatments, they've applied a subtle layer of | |
| | gloss to the sound, which may detract from the rawness of earlier | |
| | records, but we can assure you that the effect is still as | |
| | bewitching and energetic as ever. From the serendipitous thrill | |
| | of hearing a wall collapse in the background on 'Makembe' to the | |
| | undeniable thrust of 'Konono Wa Wa Wa' the group play with | |
| | insistent, innate and commanding power. Just so so good. | |
