The traditional sound of the equatorial African village with a distinctive urban edge with Kasai Masai Based in London, Congolese “Kasai Masai” bring us the traditional sound of the most remote equatorial African villages with an Urban Twist. The band is a 5 piece outfit, consisting of d’jembe, guitar, saxophone, bass and drum. To add that extra exotic touch they are also joined occasionally by one or two female dancers Named after a river, Kasai lies in the heart of the rain forest where many tribes such as the Pygmies still maintain their traditional lifestyles. The Masai, just like the Baka, are another dignified tribe whose lives still centre around a nomadic existence. “…Kasai Masai successfully marry a respect for vindage grooves with an overwhelming urge to move the dance floor. This is the sound of the old and the new, of the countryside and the city, from deep in the heart of Africa…” Nige Tassell – Reading Womad Festival DJ Jon Bongly Description/Bio: Jon Bongly is a force of positive energy spinning original and remixed beats including funk, soul, blues, ska, UK garage and assorted electronica. One of the pioneers of electro swing, retro remix and world beats in the UK, he also likes pulsing techno and wriggling tropical beats
