I first heard KONONO N°1 in a downloaded show of THE WIRE radio show at resonnance fm. The song they played sounded very interesting, something between noise and "world music". I realised, that KONONO N°1 was allready mentioned in The Suburbs Are Killing Us, but didn't download the songs when Christopher posted them.

From crammed.be :KONONO N°1 was founded over 25 years ago by Mingiedi, a virtuoso of the likembé (a traditional instrument sometimes called "sanza" or "thumb piano", consisting of metal rods attached to a resonator). The band's line-up includes three electric likembés (bass, medium and treble), equipped with hand-made microphones built from magnets salvaged from old car parts, and plugged into amplifiers. There's also a rhythm section which uses traditional as well as makeshift percussion (pans, pots and car parts), three singers, three dancers and a sound system featuring these famous megaphones.More info + mp3 excerpt
