You can call it Afro-jazz, but we prefer to define it “Afro-joy”, because that’s what Kongo Dia Ntotila eventually bring and share with their music. The London-based six-piece band, led by talented Congolese bass player Mulele Matondo, present an upbeat fusion of Central and West African styles, blending together the aforementioned jazz with soukous, Afro-funk, blues, reggae and much, much more.
