After several years of silence, Konono N°1 is returning to the stage. The legendary collective from Kinshasa, known worldwide for its explosive fusion of tradition and raw electricity, is preparing a new tour in 2026.

True to their homemade amplified likembes, these masters of electrified Bantu trance
are reigniting the flame that conquered the biggest festivals and led them to collaborate with icons such as Björk and Herbie Hancock. Their music, at the crossroads of ritual and sonic revolution, makes bodies vibrate as much as it fascinates minds.

For this grand return, Konono N°1 revisits its hypnotic standards, long rhythmic cavalcades where percussion dialogues with spellbinding voices, while opening up to a new era: that of a daring encounter with electronica. In connection with the Montparnasse Musique project, the group resonates its roots with the urban pulsations of the contemporary world, creating a unique bridge between generations and continents.

On stage, the physical power of the sound, the warmth of the groove, and the strength of the collective transform each concert into a living celebration, a modern ritual where tradition and modernity merge into the same trance.

Konono N°1 is back, ready to rock the planet once again.
