Konga Espero.

Despite technical difficulties, they succeeded in recording an 8-title mini-album in 2009 in a studio in Kinshasa, Kiu lingvo?, and they agreed to add it to the AFRIKA KOMPILO project.

Their music carries us from reggae and zook through latino and funk rock, with themes going from political engagement, world peace, and romance.
