Somewhere between hip-hop and tradition, \u201cNgamink\u00e9\u201d tells the story of a water source in the village of M’Bamou, abandoned since wartime and desperate for new drinkers. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Following the release of their first album on November 13, 2020, Les Mamans du Congo have released the video for “Ngamink\u00e9,” which carries the same name as their album. A deeply spiritual piece, this video was shot by the director Flore Onissah in Brazzaville, on the banks of the Congo River. It is a project that reflects the group’s approach: to draw from the source of their story, revisiting the tales of a country that is slowly dying. This homage to Congolese culture employs traditional Bantu sounds and merges ancestral music with grime and hip-hop along with Gladys Samba\u2019s soft voice, who sings and raps in turns while delivering her poignant messages. The dreamlike soundscape also features the electronic music of the bassist Rrobin, a sometime companion to the famous Congolese singer Zao. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recorded over a few days at Jarring Effects’ Rumble Inn studio in Lyon, their album corresponds to a political commitment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album Les Mamans du Congo & Rrobin is available through Jarring Effects<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
