DEAL N°2:
TRADI-MODERN MUSIC FROM CONGO, ORIGINAL AND REVISITED
Before the release of the new Konono N°1 album in March 2016, why not get the amazing double CD "TRADI-MODS vs ROCKERS", in which indie & electronic artists like Animal Collective, Deerhoof, Andrew Bird, Juana Molina, Aksak Maboul, Mark Ernestus, Jolie Holland, Micachu & The Shapes and many more paid tribute to the electrifying "tradi-modern" Congotronics sounds by covering/reworking/remixing tracks by Konono N°1, Kasai Allstars, Masanka Sakayi, Sobanza Mimanisa and Basokin.
And because we're so in love with this incredible music from the Congo, we'd like you to discover the double CD/DVD "The KARINDULA SESSIONS", containing music by 4 bands from the south-eastern part of the country, where local musicians are using giant banjos and creating their own style of music called Karindula. All filmed and recorded by Congotronics producer Vincent Kenis.
