Bridging the Atlantic, from Congo to London
Manifesto is bringing a 8-piece band featuring top Congolese musicians to perform at The Double Club on Thursday 4th June 2009. The band - ZongZing All Stars - have been exploring and nurturing the ‘Soukous’ music from The Democratic Republic of Congo throughout the UK and further afield for the past years, they have played many venues and festivals, never failing to get audiences up and dancing to their spiritually uplifting sound.
ZongZing All Stars music is colourful and joyous and combines intricate guitar picking with a raw harmony singing style. The exciting interplay between the musicians epitomizes what great live music is all about. Band members are Fiston Lusambo on Lead and Mi Lead guitar, Ladi Mbala on Rhythmic Guitar, Declo on Bass, and Burkina faso on Lead Guitar and Mi Lead Guitar, Aimee Bongongo Vocal, Gianni Calugi on Vocals, Saidi Kanda on Conga and Gires on Drumers.
This will be a tremendously enjoyable evening that should appeal to African music devotees and also an entirely new audience looking to experience one of the most ‘infectiously danceable forms of music in the world!’
Manifesto Acoustic is a concept whereby live music, afro-beats and DJ sessions intertwine.
