For what is already the 6th volume in his Congotronics series, Vincent Kenis introduced the members of Konono N° 1 to Angolan-Portuguese Pedro Coquenão, better known as Batida. Even though all members of Konono N° 1 are based in the Congolese capital, Kinshasa, they're all Bazombo, an ethnic minority from the border area between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Angola, which, of course, also explains the rhythmic similarities between the music of Konono N ° 1 and that of Batida. 'Konono N° 1 meets Batida' was recorded in Batida's studio/garage in Lisbon and it has to be said the musical universes of both parties blend seamlessly on this album. Another Congotronics volume filled with mesmerizing jungle trance!
