«Congotronics» is the album by Konono Nº1, released in 2004 by Crammed Discs, on CD.
Konono Nº1 transforms traditional trance music with handmade amplification: electric likembes, megaphones, homemade microphones and percussion built from car parts. The result is a dense, distorted sound that connects Congolese music with experimental rock and dance electronics. Highlights include «Lufuala Ndonga», «Masikulu» and «Paradiso».
First volume of the Congotronics series, dedicated to the musical styles of the Kinshasa suburbs. Includes seven tracks and its catalogue reference is Craw 27.
Will appeal to listeners of traditional African music, experimental rock and dance electronics seeking raw, trance-like sonorities.
