[機譯]“360°”是Kongo-Jazz的第二張唱片，KongoDia Ntotila。這個10首曲目的專輯向非洲最優秀的舞曲音樂風格致敬 -復活，城市化，並與大量爵士樂融為一體。該樂團由MuleleMatondo（貝斯），JohnKelly（吉他），MboutaKissangwa（鼓），DialaSakuba（吉他）和英國爵士樂演奏家WilliamScott（薩克斯管）和MikeSoper（小號）組成。

英國廣播公司6音樂劇的湯姆羅賓遜稱他們“完全真實 -和你從非洲走出來的任何東西一樣好......精緻，能量，音樂才能和純粹生命肯定的精神提升的完美結合！”~q~360°~q~就是所有這些事情等等。在標題曲目中，KongoDia Ntotila探索了非洲倫敦的城市聲音，其靈感來自於英國首都當前新的爵士樂場景，它是蹩腳，快樂和有趣的。“Naleli”的痛苦，一首用爵士樂 -雷鬼音樂感受非洲痛苦的歌曲。由於金沙薩與倫敦爵士隊在慶祝剛果人的根源上發生了碰撞，因此將首張專輯~q~Kongo~q~快樂地融合在一起。專輯看到樂隊通過非洲的聲音和風格共同移動，探索喜悅，慶祝，痛苦和抗議的音符。儘管KongoDia Ntotila將爵士和藍調的影響帶入他們的音樂中，但他們聲音的核心卻牢牢紮根於祖國。

準備好通過激烈，沉浸式和非常有趣的音樂之旅來跳舞。每個人都能找到適合自己的東西，從舞池上的女主角到精湛的音樂家，“360°”將因其引人入勝的音樂以及技術藝術和純粹的創新而受到讚賞。

~q~360°’ is the second record from Kongo-Jazz outfit, Kongo Dia Ntotila. The 10-track album pays homage to some of Africa’s finest dance music styles - revived, urbanised, and seamlessly fused with a heavy injection of jazz. The ensemble consists of Mulele Matondo (bass), John Kelly (guitar), Mbouta Kissangwa (drums), Diala Sakuba (guitar) and UK jazz horn players William Scott (saxophone) and Mike Soper (trumpet).

BBC 6 Music~q~s Tom Robinson described them as “totally authentic - as good as anything you get coming out of Africa… a great combination of sophistication, energy, musicianship, and sheer life-affirming spiritual uplift!” ‘360°’ is all of those things and more. In the title track, Kongo Dia Ntotila explores the urban sound of African London, inspired by the current new jazz scene of the UK capital, it’s grungy, joyful and funked up. There is the pain of ‘Naleli’, a song that laments the suffering of Africa with a Jazz-Reggae sound. The joyful fusion of album opener, ‘Kongo’, as Kinshasa collides with London Jazz in a celebration of Congolese roots. The album sees the band move collectively through the sounds and styles of Africa exploring notes of joy, celebration, pain, and protest. Although Kongo Dia Ntotila has brought Jazz and Blues influences into their music, the heart of their sound is rooted firmly in the motherland.

Get ready to dance your way through an intense, immersive and a seriously fun musical journey. With something for everyone, from dance floor divas to masterful musicians, ‘360’° will be appreciated for its catchy tunes as much as its technical artistry and sheer innovation.
