Pongo – Tambulaya

Portoguese-angolan artist travels to the future of Africa in this dance stunner, destined to be the sound of the summer.

From the first seconds, you sense that you are in for something new: the shrill chanted “tambulayas”, the fleeting horns, followed by the beat… and Pongo’s shouts of “EH EH!” The magic of this irresisitible debut is how it grooves along, combining african beats and rhythms with futuristic, eclectic electronica. Simple, repetitive, it sucks you into its world, where staying still isn’t an option.
