Our Take
Our Take
In the tangled jungle of the music industry, the KASAI ALLSTARS shine like a disco ball made of tropical fruit. Their latest offering, "Black Ants Always Fly Together, One Bangle Makes No Sound," is a mesmerising cacophony of sounds and rhythms that will have you dancing like a zebra on roller skates.
From the opening track, "Hunt and Gather," with its pulsating beat and hypnotic chants, to the soaring vocals of "Limbua," this album is a wild ride through the Congolese wilderness. The Allstars effortlessly blend traditional African rhythms with modern electronic elements, creating a sonic landscape that is both familiar and otherworldly.
But it's not just the music that shines on this album. The lyrics, sung in a mix of Lingala, Kiswahili, Tshiluba, and Luba-Kasai, are poetic and mysterious, inviting the listener to delve deeper into the stories being told. And the album artwork, featuring colourful tribal masks and psychedelic patterns, is a visual feast for the eyes.
In a world of cookie-cutter pop stars and formulaic music, the KASAI ALLSTARS are a breath of fresh air. "Black Ants Always Fly Together, One Bangle Makes No Sound" is a bold and ambitious album that will transport you to a world where the beats are wild, the melodies are infectious, and the party never ends. So grab your dancing shoes and join the Allstars on this exhilarating musical journey. Trust us, you won't regret it.
