Description

Grammy award-winning�Congolese band,�Konono N�1�has�teamed�up with�Angolan-born, Portugese-based producer,�Batida blending�the worlds of electronic beats and organic grooves to create this exciting�strain of Afro-electro music.�he release is�part of�Crammed Discs'�acclaimed Congotronics series,�which is devoted to the strange and spectacular electro-traditional mixtures which are being concocted in the suburbs of Kinshasa, Democtratic Rebublic of Congo.�
The artists came together at the�invitation of Crammed Discs�founder,�Marc Hollander, when he�challenged the producer to make an�album with the Congolese band. Despite a number of obstacles from�different languages, working habits and references, the artists successfully�blend�the worlds of electronic beats and organic grooves to create this exciting�strain of Afro-electro music.� The album was produced by both Batida and Vincent Kenis, the originator and producer of Crammed�s Congotronics series, devoted to exciting electro/traditional musical hybrids from the Congo. He "rediscovered" Konono N�1 in the early 2000s and produced all of their albums since. Batida is an Angolan-born and Lisbon-raised, radio, documentary and music producer. His first two albums on UK label, Soundway Records, garnered much praise from the media and artists like Stromae, who invited Batida�to open for him�on his tour and Damon Albarn, who invited him to remix a track and take part in the Africa Express project. The album was recorded in Batida�s garage-cum-studio in Lisbon with a series of collaborators and friends of Batida�s, reflecting upon the city�s vibrant, cosmopolitan music life: guitarist Papa Juju (the leader of Lisbon�s foremost Afro-fusion band, Terracotta), vocalist Selma Uamusse (one of the best young African singers currently residing in Portugal) and MC AF Diaphra, a distinguished slam poet and an artist/producer in his own right.�
