Sizzling, raw, highly danceable funk from the heart of Africa via Amsterdam. Inspired by Nigerian Afrobeat, Senegalese mbalax, Malian Griots and sweet riffs from the Caribbean, these nine outstanding international musicians are pioneers of a new Dutch African sound. Their astonishing debut album, Afro What!? bewitched critics and audiences with its fresh and completely original sound, prompting reviewers to credit it as one of the undisputed highlights of the year. With a driving rhythm section, blistering fat horns, lyrical guitars and stunning vocals, Mdungu are the new kids on the world block.
