Kasai Allstars
Kasai Allstars are a 25-piece musical collective based in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The musicians are from the Kasaï region, originating from five different ethnic groups: the Songye, Lulua, Tetela, Luba, and Luntu. The collective includes members active in bands, including Masanka Sankayi and Basokin.
Some of these groups have endured conflicting relationships over the centuries, and they each have their own culture, their own language, and their own musical traditions. These were always thought to be incompatible until the musicians decided to pool their resources and form a collective.
Their records were produced, recorded & mixed by Vincent Kenis, a Belgian producer with interest in Congolese music.
