Our Take

KINK GONG's latest offering, "Tanzania 2", is a wild and wacky ride through the sounds of East Africa. This is not your average album, folks. KINK GONG, aka Laurent Jeanneau, takes field recordings from his travels and transforms them into a sonic experience like no other.

From the moment you hit play, you're transported to the bustling streets of Dar es Salaam, with the vibrant sounds of local musicians and street vendors filling your ears. It's a cacophony of voices, drums, and melodies that will leave you feeling like you've been dropped into the heart of Tanzania itself.

But it's not just the authenticity of the recordings that make this album so special. KINK GONG adds his own unique twist, blending traditional African rhythms with modern electronic beats to create a sound that is truly out of this world.

Tracks like "Mnazi" and "Kipok" will have you grooving along with their infectious energy, while slower, more introspective songs like "Pamba" and "Kwimba" will have you pondering the deeper meaning behind the music.

In conclusion, "Tanzania 2" is a must-listen for any music lover looking to expand their horizons. KINK GONG has once again proven why he's a force to be reckoned with in the world of experimental music. So put on your headphones, close your eyes, and let yourself be whisked away to the magical land of Tanzania. Trust us, you won't regret it.
