Jupiter And Okwess

Withtheir second albumKin Sonic,Jupiter and Okwess transcend the Congo’s unexplored musical heritage and dive into a pool of modernity.We’re invited to savour his latest recipe, the Okwess(‘food’ in the Kibunda language) which is the fruit of all the encounters and influences he has absorbed during his many journeys around the world.

It’s a recipe based on perfect alchemy, enriched by contributions fromDamon Albarn of Blur and Gorillaz, violinist Warren Ellis of Nick Cave’s Bad Seeds and Robert del Naja, aka ‘3D’, of Massive Attack.
