Made up of a sprawling network of shanty-towns and night shelters, day-to-day life in the city is far from easy, but the band don’t want sympathy. Tired of pre-conceptions around African music, Mbongwana Star (‘Mbongwana’ means ‘change’) are creating their own identity, fusing traditional Congolese rhythms with post punk and electronics inspired by life in the townships around them, “making magic out garbage” says producer and band member Doctor L (who produced Tony Allen’s ‘Black Voices’ album). The result is revolutionary. This isn’t an African band per se. It’s a trans-global barrier-busting sound machine. ‘..an altogether unique vibe. We will be paying close attention’ – Boilerroom ‘Astonishing’ – Independent Artist Mbongwana Star Genre World / Fusion Label World Circuit Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings 1.
