From Kinshasa to New York, via Buenos Aires and Stockholm, the supergroup Congotronics brings together four continents on a single album.
Legendary Congolese bands Konono N°1 and Kasai Allstars, along with nine of experimental rock’s most creative musicians – Deerhoof, Juana Molina, Wildbirds & Peacedrums, and Matthew Mehlan (Skeletons) – join forces for what promises to be an epic album – Where’s The One.Announced for release on 29th April 2022 on Crammed Discs, the project features 21 tracks in a mix of studio and live recordings. Having first got together in 2011 for the Congotronics vs. Rockers tour, the artists took the opportunity to record tracks before, during, and after their shows. In total there are ten singers, five guitarists, three likembe players, two bassists, and three drummers. The artists hail from all over the globe – from Congo to New York, via Buenos Aires and Stockholm.
Over the course of ten years and across four continents, the participants in this project have set out to combine the electrified traditional music of Congolese artists with the experimental avant-rock styles of their Western compatriots.
