The Tronics Of Congo

Last fall I heard some music by a group called Konono No.1. They use traditional Kinshasa dance rhythms, combined with electrified thumb pianos, megaphones, and dozens of drums, all of them turned up to 11.
In November 2005, I went to see Konono No.1 perform at the Cedar Cultural Center. The show was awesome. I had never heard anything quite like what they were doing, until the following song came on, and the song after that, and the song after that, and...
They jammed out for so long, that after a half hour of it people fell into a trance, and just started shaking their bodies, like I've never seen Minnesotan's move before.
I knew then that this music was something fresh, and special, so I put in a order for their album, Congotronics, on vinyl.
The success of the Konono No.1 album spawned the release of Congotronics 2, which is a collection of similar music by other artist in surrounding regions.

Here is a song off Congotronics 2:
