Info for Bantou Mentale

A dark, thundering Kinshasa meets Paris soundworld. Ecstatic vocals, broken beats, subterranean bass and full-throttle energy.

This four-piece group of sonic groundbreakers delivers a scintillating debut album. The fulfillment of their dream to create an African band with the weight and sensory attack of knife-edged rock and hot-wired club beats. They’re bringing a new punk rock, African style. Features ex-members of Staff Benda Bilili, Konono No.1, Jupiter & Okwess, Mbongwana Star, Doctor L.

Bantou Mentale

Bantou Mentale
isn’t a ‘project’; it’s a band – three black guys, one white. Who cares. As the great Congolese prophet and anti-colonial leader Simon Kimbangu famously said, almost a century ago, “the black will become white and the white will become black”.
