Info for Bantou Mentale
A dark, thundering Kinshasa meets Paris soundworld. Ecstatic vocals, broken beats, subterranean bass and full-throttle energy.
This four-piece group of sonic groundbreakers delivers a scintillating debut album. The fulfillment of their dream to create an African band with the weight and sensory attack of knife-edged rock and hot-wired club beats. They’re bringing a new punk rock, African style. Features ex-members of Staff Benda Bilili, Konono No.1, Jupiter & Okwess, Mbongwana Star, Doctor L.
