Guembri Superstar & Lova Lova

A dense, urban, and modern trance, drawn from the lands of Africa and the Caribbean, blending it with their knowledge of repetitive music and electronic productions. A trance performed by just three musicians who today sound like an entire army.
At the forefront is artist Lova Lova, performer and free spirit of Kinshasa’s alternative punk scene.

Electric mandolin, muffled gongs, synthetic eighties stripes. It’s rough, subtle and damn good. In this oversaturated, handmade trance, there are the long sobs of autumn violins and a furious desire for Indian summer not to leave too quickly.” – POINT BREAK
