KOKOKO! Fongola Cover

Like Konono No 1, this Kinshasa collective fashion their instruments from old junk – ranging from plastic bottles to a toaster – for their impressive debut. With extraordinary alchemy they turn a harsh, dissonant noise into compelling 21st-century music full of a banging energy, cemented together by the electronic flourishes of their French producer, Débruit. A Top of the World in #151.
