About the event
Loboko with special guest Lollise:
Loboko, based in New York City, is a small but mighty outfit led by Yohni Loboko (Yohni Djungu-Sungu) a virtuosic guitarist, singer and multi-instrumentalist from the Democratic Republic of Congo, based in Brooklyn. Yohni has performed with legends of Congolese music Fally Ipupa, Soukous Stars and Zaiko Langa Langa. In 2019 he founded Loboko alongside drummer, DJ and journalist Morgan Greenstreet and supported by multi-instrumentalist and producer Nikhil Yerawadekar, with frequent special guest Ngouma Lokito, veteran bassist and studio musician on hundreds of Congolese records and long-time member of Soukous Stars. Loboko’s unique style draws on classic Congolese soukous, rumba, and contemporary seben delivered in a punchy small band format. In 2023, Loboko released a vinyl '45: Kanyunyi / Ekenge with the acclaimed Brooklyn label Names You Can Trust.
Lollise is a singer, musician, visual artist and fashion designer from Botswana, currently living in NYC.…
