Kin'Gongolo Kiniata

Description

Wooden boards, tin cans, empty beer crates and a few plastic bottles: that is all Kin'Gongolo Kiniata needs to magically bring the electrifying streetsound of megacity Kinshasa to GROUNDS and to make it a hell of a party!

Kin'Gongolo Kiniata stands out as a new force in Kinshasa's vibrant music scene, offering an innovative proposal that captures the vibrant and chaotic urban life of the Congolese capital. Fueled by the pulsating sounds of the city, this dynamic group creates their music using instruments made from recycled objects, exploring a wide range of sound textures. The result is a highly experimental Afropop that blends the energy of punk with electronically generated Congolese rhythms.
