Kasai All-Stars: In the 7th Moon, The Chief Turned Into A Swimming Fish and ate the Head of His Enemy by Magic (Crammed)

Kasai All-Stars: In the 7th Moon, The Chief Turned Into A Swimming Fish and ate the Head of His Enemy by Magic (Crammed) – The third installment in Crammed Disc's exceptional Congotronics series features a cast about 25 musicians from five different bands and ethnic groups from the Kasai region of Congo. The stylistic convergence welcomes a broader array of instruments and more complex polyrhythms. The urban setting enables a more precise production, however allows the updated ritual music to maintain its trance inducing qualities. Recommended.
