Earlier this year, the Congolese trance band known as Konono No. 1 -a Mad Maxian agglomeration featuring ingenious and massive DIY amplification, electronically distorted, outsize likembe thumb pianos, and drum and percussion instruments made from recycled industrial scrap- burst out of Kinshasa to shock and awe the European music scene with Congotronics. It wasn't a jazz album by any means, but it was sufficiently creative, dangerous, and uncompromising to appeal to the experimental margins of the jazz, world, rock, and dance music scenes. 

There's more of the mesmerising same, served up with a little more variety, on this excellent second volume in the series, subtitled Buzz 'n' Rumble From The Urb 'n' Jungle, featuring Konono alongside six other Kinshasa trance bands. Masanka Sankayi + Kasai Allstars open the album in bass-heavy, throbbing, neo-Konono style with "Wa Muluendu," and Konono itself shuts things down, more or less apocalyptically, with "T.P. Couleur Cafe."

Thanks pastafari, if this is half as good as Vol 1 it's going to be wonderful :)
Well, this is more diverse, it includes bands with a more tribal sound and some of them remind me of Santeria chants - an obvious connection with my home country, Cuba ;)

Hope people will enjoy as it much as Konono No1.
I have no idea what to expect from this, but the info is intriguing enough for me to check it out :)
Buy the way pastafari, would you consider re-uploading your Buena Vista stuff in FLAC? Greetings from the Breezin Dutchman.
Sure, I've been thinking about re-releasing all my Buena Vista CDs in FLAC. Just was not sure if there'd be an interest ;)
This is great :D

Oh and count me in for the FLAC Buena Vista Social Club uploads too :)
