About Konono N°1 meets Batida
A collaboration between Konono N°1 and Batida. Together they released the 2016 album "Konono N°1 Meets Batida" on Crammed Discs. Batida is Pedro Coquenão, a producer, musician, radio host and DJ born in Angola and raised in Lisbon, Portugal. Konono Nº1 is a musical group from Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly known as Zaire). They combine three electric likembé (a traditional lamellaphone similar to the mbira) with voices, dancers, and percussion instruments that are made out of items salvaged from a junkyard. The group's amplification equipment is equally rudimentary, including a microphone carved out of wood fitted with a magnet from an automobile alternator.
