Congotronics

I've been prepping my radio show for Friday, which is a special on experimental worldbeat music, and I'll definitely be playing this band:



Konono No. 1 are a very intriguing band from what was formally Zaire, who play African rock with the improv style of an industrial band, using electrified acoustic instruments and junkyard percussion. They don't sound like any other band I've ever heard. They've just released their latest album Assume Crash Position on Crammed Discs Records.
