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.

  • KARINDULAAAAAA? CONGRATULATIONNNNNN

  • @drjafrica Vincent Kenis dirige cette collection consacrée à la musique congolaise

    donc l'unique objectif est de diffuser cette culture à travers le monde et d'améliorer les conditions de vie des artistes locaux et en aucun cas faire du profit sur leur dos.

    Si vous avez acheté ce CD + DVD 40 $ vous avez été escroqué par le disquaire car je le vends 17 euros dans ma boutique. Il faut défendre le travail de Vincent Kenis et du label crammed records.

  • J´ai beaucoup dancé karindula à Kolwezi durant mon enfance. J´ai acheté le Cd + DVD tourné à Lubumbashi au Portugal (Lisbonne). Est-ce que les propres artistes en profitent quelque chose? Le CD + DVD coûte presque 40 $USD. Et c´était le dernier. Soyez vigilants mes frères. Ne laissez pas les étrangers vous filmez et vendre le produit sans aucun gaint. Que le gouvernement aide cette culture.

  • A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

  • oh karindula, minawaza kwetu ba yama.
