Das Debuetalbum der Londoner Band . um den hen Leadsaenger Mike Title ist ein ropisches Amalgam aus Afro, Techno und Punk, angesiedelt irgendwo zwischen Funkadelic, The Prodigy und den späten PIL, wo s auf entfesselte Fussballfanchoere im Oi!-Stil treffen. Last Copy! 1. 5 EUR . - Hip-hop.

One imagines that hallucinogenics might dramatically enhance the debut offering from London Afro-punks . but let's not downplay its inherent trippiness.

There are some bands you listen to and you think, Well, it’s just more of the same, isn’t it? The Intergalactic Republic of Kongo (. are emphatically not that kind of band.

The Intergalactic Touring Band (IGTB) was not an actual music group but rather a science fiction pop music concept album released in 1977 by the now defunct Passport Records in America and Charisma Records in England. The ensemble album featured many star performers from progressive rock and other genres, including Meat Loaf, Ben E. King, Larry Fast (Synergy), Percy Jones, Annie Haslam, Rod Argent, Peppi Marchello (Good Rats), and many others

João I of Kongo (died 1509), alias Nzinga a Nkuwu or Nkuwu Nzinga, was ruler of the Kingdom of Kongo between 1470 and 1509. He was baptized as João on 3 May 1491 by Portuguese missionaries. Due to his interest in Portugal and its culture, he initiated a major cultural initiative in 1485 upon the arrival of Diogo Cão. It was under these conditions that the first Atlantic Creole emerged, forming in both Central Africa and in Portugal.
