Now for something completely different.
Konono N°1 is a musical group from Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. They combine three electric likembĂ© (a traditional instrument similar to the mbira) with voices, dancers, and percussion instruments that are made out of items salvaged from a junkyard. The group's amplification equipment is equally rudimentary, including a microphone carved out of wood fitted with a magnet from an automobile alternator and a gigantic horn-shaped amplifier.
