First broadcast live over WFHB from Blockhouse Studios on Friday, September 28, 2018
Front man Jupiter Bokondji and the band Okwess hail from Kinshasa, in Congo. Their exhilarating version of soukous is jet-fueled – Congolese rhumba with healthy doses of funk, soul, and rock. Jupiter & Okwess deliver more than just high-energy music: his songs often touch on Congo’s colonial past, and its modern economic and social challenges.
