Konono N°1 one of Flavorpill's Most Anticipated Summer Releases

Flavorpill named Konono N°1's Assume Crash Position, which is due out on June 8th, as one of their 25 most anticipated releases of the summer.

It’s been five years since these Congolese all-stars released their gorgeous debut. We can’t wait to see what they’ve spent the last half-decade working on. We’re especially excited to learn that the album will boast collaborations with a number of African vocalists.

Head over here to download the single “Wumbanzaga."
