‘THE CONGO MEETS CUBA IN AN EXUBERANT EXPLOSION OF MUSIC’

Grupo Lokito create a modern-day cocktail of two of the great world musics; Fusing blistering contemporary Congolese grooves with the fire of Cuban music. The results have audiences dancing in a haze of energy.

The glorious melodious vocals of Congolese front men Kas Kasongo and Iddo Donnatella blends with soaring guitars courtesy of Congolese guitar legend Mbokaliya ‘Burkina Faso’ Kasongo, and the lilting keyboards of Latin piano player Sara. All of this sits on top of the rhythmic powerhouse team of Shyam Shah (rhythm guitar), Raphael (drums), Lilli (congas) and Jimmy (bass).

Since their formation in 2006 the band have gone from strength to strength, completing several UK tours and building a solid following.
