"Ngwaka Son Systéme's debut album Iboto Ngenge means ""power struggle"" or ""seizing the opportunity"" but while words can only be roughly translated the music reaches listeners unambiguously: A potent mixture of techno rumba soukous zagué and dancehall with the unique ""Kinoise"" brand fresh out of Kinshasa the Congolese megacity that never stops innovating in the music landscape worldwide. Ngwaka Son Systéme is led by musicians Love Lokombe and Bom's Bomolo having previously founded the band KOKOKO!. This new project continues the contemporary Congolese tradition of reinventing electronic music by shaping and crafting music instruments made of household objects. As a means to continue strengthening the links between Africa and Latin America Eck Echo has tasked Colombian dub engineer Diego Gomez with the analog mixing of the stems originally recorded by Levy David at Timbela Ba Studio in Kinshasa. With the aim to bring the lexicon of shared Colombian and Congolese music into the next chapter we proudly present to the world the magnificent music of Ngwaka Son Systéme."
