I can't imagine what it would be like. I like the Congotronics album a lot. Worth seeing?

A search is a terrible thing to waste:

Konono No1 - "Tradi-Modern" - This shit is unreal
Konono No 1

Check out the live footage on the Congotronics 2 CD/DVD that just came out, it is awesome.

They played my basement in '95 with Swingin' Utters and Anti-Flag. They do a great cover of "Six Pack".

saw it at roskilde. Yes, very very good, like most of the acts at the world stage. like minimal tortoise on acid. the joy of playing was VERY real. very refreshing

Saw them at the ultra-uptight Kennedy Center several months ago. Something had happened to their equipment, so the massive speaker horns were just for show. High-energy act, but dance-unfriendly venue and none of that lovely distortion, so sort of a bust. They should be great at the right place with the right gear.

yeah that show was pretty much a bummer.

people kept trying to dance and then the little big men in their red suit jackets kept shushing them
