De Centrale, Ghent
€24–30
After a few years of silence, Konono N°1 returns with a sizzling renewed energy, in which tradition and innovation strengthen each other. Konono N°1, the legendary collective from Kinshasa that is known worldwide for its explosive fusion of tradition and raw electric sounds, is going on tour again. These masters of the electrified Bantu-trance rekindle the fire with which they conquered the biggest festivals and which paved the way for collaborations with stars like Björk and Herbie Hancock. Their music, on the cutting edge of ritual and sound innovation, makes bodies and spirits resonate worldwide. For their comeback, Konono N°1 reaches back to their hypnotizing classics: long-spun rhythmic pieces in which percussion and conjuring voices find each other effortlessly. At the same time, they enter into a bold dialogue with contemporary electronic music. Together with Montparnasse Music, they connect their roots with a contemporary urban pulse. Thus, they build a bridge between generations and continents, resulting in a contemporary ritual in which tradition and innovation flow together into one shared trance. Konono N°1 is ready to conquer the world again!
