CrammedBlog: Konono nº 1 live!

Konono N°1 aficionados across Europe had been holding their breath as the Congolese band waited to be granted their visas. The unexpected, additional 2-week delay unfortunately resulted in the cancellation of all their scheduled appearances alongside Tortoise, who had invited Konono N°1 to share the bill with them on a 10-date European tour.
After many vicissitudes, the visas were finally issued last Friday, and the band has played a steaming, first European concert in Paris on Sunday, May 29, at a special event organized by daily paper Liberation.
Check here fore some streaming live footage from that evening. Video images by Césarine Bolya.
