Mbongwana Star

Mbongwana Star

From Kinshasa, Congo - this group of street musicians who play a fusion of funk, rock, rumba and vintage R&B. Mbongwana Star takes you right into the heart and onto the streets of modern day Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Their sound is filled with the rich cultural heritage of their native land and the urban groove of Kinshasa. Mbongwana Star – which translates from Lingala as Star of Change – put together a band which worked on a new sound of Congo .Drums are mixed with howling electric guitars and the characteristics of a rock band to form a hypnotic mix – as self-evident as it is innovative.
