The Congolese artist, spearheading the alternative kizobazoba movement, delivers a particularly satirical new track on Moonshine\u2019s label.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Best known as a founding member of the Kinshasa-based DIY band KOKOKO!<\/a>, Love Lokombe is a songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist. Considered one of the fathers of the alternative music genre kizobazoba, where techno and Congolese music (sebene, rumba, ndombolo) meet, his lyrics are full of double meanings and offer a satirical look at Congolese society. Back in solo, he offers us today his track “Dindon” (turkey), presented by the Montreal collective Moonshine<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The turkey is a parable, it evokes the temptations of everyday life that can sometimes cause our downfall, and conversely the importance of staying focused on those who really matter<\/em>,” Love Lokombe explains about the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video, partly shot in Kinshasa, humorously immerses us in the best choreographers of the Congolese capital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen to “Dindon” in our afro + club playlist on Spotify<\/a> and Deezer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
