Black Ants Always Fly Together, One Bangle Makes No Sound is the 2021 album from renowned Congolese collective Kasai Allstars, released on Crammed Discs. Known for their energetic fusion of Congolese folk traditions and innovative sonic experimentation, the group brings together musicians from diverse backgrounds to create a vibrant, genre-defying soundscape.
This release marks the first Kasai Allstars album produced by guitarist Mopero Mupemba, further broadening their musical palette by blending electric guitars, call-and-response vocals, and distorted ikembe with refined electronic textures inspired by neighboring regions. The result is a powerful and immersive journey through dynamic rhythms and intricate melodies that stands as a testament to the band's boundary-pushing artistry.
