The artist who grew up in Kinshasa slums met with fellow instrument builder Bebson De La Rue and gathered discarded trash around him to craft instruments made of old computer bits, oils cans, springs, metal pipes and offcuts of tubing. He was later joined by Lady Aisha, an all-round artist who designed their eccentric costumes, masks and scenography to match with their DIY instruments and innovative sounds. Unsurprisingly, they shored up at the Nyege Nyege studios in Kampala to put together this album. Back in 2019, PAM had met with the Afro-futuristic crew at the <a href=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/fulu-miziki-poubelle-sera-la-revolution\/\">Nyege Nyege festival<\/a> and could already predict this would be a very fruitful collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2416480001\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nyegenyegetapes.bandcamp.com\/album\/ndjila-wa-mudujimu\">N&#39;Djila Wa Mudujimu by Lady Aicha &amp; Pisko Crane&#39;s Original Fulu Miziki of Kinshasa<\/a><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>HHY &amp; The Macumbas\u2019 producer Jonathan Saldanha, who recorded <em>N&#8217;Djila Wa Mudujimu, <\/em>manage to capture their revolutionary sounds inspired by Congolese soukous, an almost undefinable mix of punk, electronic music, industrial sonics and spiritual jazz. The track \u201cKraut&#8221;, showcases the band\u2019s skillful way of blending various-sounding percussions, adding war cries and rousing repetitive chants to the mix. <em>N&#8217;Djila Wa Mudujimu <\/em>is a deeply enjoyable album throughout which encapsulates Fulu Miziki\u2019s style, which, might, unfortunately, be their last given the band\u2019s recent split. On the bright side, Pisco Crane and Lady Aisha are still making music together and given their trademark resourcefulness, there are many reasons to await their next innovative creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to \u201cKraut\u201d in our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lnk.to\/afroclub\">afro + club<\/a>\u00a0playlist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/nyegenyegetapes.bandcamp.com\/album\/ndjila-wa-mudujimu\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/nyegenyegetapes.bandcamp.com\/album\/ndjila-wa-mudujimu\">N&#8217;Djila Wa Mudujimu<\/a> <\/em>out October 21st via Nyege Nyege Tapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1010\" height=\"1010\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ndjila_wa_mudujimu-1010x1010.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-112259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ndjila_wa_mudujimu-1010x1010.jpg 1010w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ndjila_wa_mudujimu-759x759.jpg 759w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ndjila_wa_mudujimu-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ndjila_wa_mudujimu-661x661.jpg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ndjila_wa_mudujimu-465x465.jpg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ndjila_wa_mudujimu-375x375.jpg 375w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ndjila_wa_mudujimu-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ndjila_wa_mudujimu-85x85.jpg 85w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ndjila_wa_mudujimu-73x73.jpg 73w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ndjila_wa_mudujimu.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kinshasa-born band is back with their slum-crafted instruments in a new album, which encapsulates their innovative sounds: punk, electronic, industrial and soukous-inspired, all at once.
