Congotronics 2 Buzz 'N 'Rumble From The Urb' n' Jungle

Hot on the heels of Konono No1, Congotronics 2 - Buzz 'N' Rumble From The Urb 'N' Jungle offers a fresh selection of even more remarkable sounds, courtesy of seven electro-traditional bands from Kinshasa, Congo. These bands draw on traditional trance music to which they've incorporated heavily distorted sounds generated by do-it-yourself amplification...much like, except that these musicians come from various regions (Kasai, Lake Mai Ndombe, Bacongo province), they use diverse rhythms, timbres and instrumentation. The trademark electrified thumb pianos and megaphones are joined by an array of buzzing drums, swirling guitars and hypnotic balafons.
