mbongwana star - 'shégué'

They hail from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and this is their debut album, out yesterday. It's very atmospheric and sounds like they've chucked the kitchen sink at it. There's no denying their African roots which are played loudly and proudly but there's also a fair bit of bleeps, whistles and breaks that lift it from anything that you might have heard previously. Great stuff!
