Nihiloxica

One could consider 'Kololi', the long-player debut by Ugandan Nihiloxica, a collaboration between British jazz drummer and producer Jacob Maskell-Key aka Spooky-J and producer Peter Jones aka pq, and the four-piece Nilotika Cultural Ensemble from Kampala, to be a distant cousin of Kinshasa's congotronics-scene. But where Congolese projects mainly experiment with likembes and lokole/lokombe drums, 'Kaloli' mostly features tipically Ugandan percussion, completed with the dark electro-vibes of the two Brits.
