The artful dance music of Congolese collective Kokoko! manifests itself in a genre-averse mix of strange rhythms, lo-fi electronic textures, and relentless grooves all played on a variety of homemade instruments that the band created out of trash from the street and scrap materials. After coming together at a block party in the capital city of Kinshasa, the group collaborated with French electronic producer Débruit to enhance their sound and began releasing a series of singles in 2017 and 2018 leading up to the release of their acclaimed full-length debut, Fongola, in 2019. A series of international tours and a 2022 EP followed before Kokoko! returned in 2024 with their follow-up album, BUTU.
