"There are 25 musicians in the band, with six lead vocalists, and instrumentalists playing drums, guitars and (as with Konono) highly distorted, amplified traditional likembe thumb pianos. Making use of relentless, repeated riffs, matched again chanting drum patterns and occasional guitar solos, their often lengthy songs are exhilarating, edgy and at times downright spooky - especially when played very loud, as recommended. Even when they slow down for a gentle likembe workout on Beyond the 7th Moon, their playing is insistent and compelling".

"The sound is terrific, the presentation is handsome, the sound and selection are amazing; and negotiations with musicians are not done on colonial terms".
