Concert
Congotronics vs. Rockers
Strange encounters of a new kind. Big names in the international experimental and Indie scenes remixed originals by the “Congotronics” bands Konono No.1, Kasai Allstars and Bolia We Ndege for the album “Tradi-Mods vs Rockers”. Now they’ve also put together a band that’s gone on tour together.
As well as Konono No. 1 and the Kasai Allstars, it also includes the Californian Noise Rocker Deerhoof, the Argentinian singer/songwriter Juana Molina, the Swedish song and drum duo Wildbirds & Peacedrums and Matt Mehlan, frontman of the Freejazz Experimental band Skeletons from Brooklyn. As the magazine “Musikexpress” put it: “as long as musical summits like this take place, there is no need to worry about the future of Pop”. Berlin is the only stop in Germany on the tour.
