Following the runaway success stories of Staff Benda Bilili and Konono No.1 in recent years, Crammed Discs now presents more incredible tradi-modern music from a different corner of the Congo. After introducing the now-famous electrified traditional music of Congolese capital Kinshasa, Congotronics producer Vincent Kenis travelled to the mining city of Lubumbashi in the south-eastern province of Katanga, where young musicians are creating their own tradi-modern style of music called Karindula. Kenis recorded four bands during a 3-day mini-festival, and their wild, raw and dynamic performances are documented on this comprehensive CD/DVD release.
