NGOMA SOUNDSYSTEM is Dj Zhao + Marcel (djembes, congas, bells, shakers)
A versatile musical entity consisting of dj and live percussion, NGOMA Soundsystem fuses ancestral rhythms, acoustic textures, and urban bass pressure. Drawing upon the wealth of traditions from Africa and beyond and informed by up-to-the-minute street sounds worldwide, NGOMA Soundsystem exists in the tension between live improvisation and electronic composition, creating “ancient-futurist” musical spaces as rewarding for the ear as they are effective on dance floors small and large.
