In the south-eastern part of the Congo, young local musicians are
creating their own tradi-modern style of music, which they call
Karindula, a word which also designates the main instrument they use - a
giant banjo made out of an oil barrel, a goat skin, four strings, and
an empty bag of powdered milk. After introducing the now-famous
electrified traditional music of Congolese capital Kinshasa, Congotronics producer Vincent Kenis
travelled to the mining city of Lubumbashi to record and film four
Karindula bands during a 3-day mini-festival. Their wild, raw and
dynamic performances are documented on this +90 min DVD & audio CD.
