  • A percussive medley of Afro-diasporic styles.

  • Looping and layering various baile funk, kuduro and Afro-house grooves, French-Gabonese artist Banga builds a slow yet lethal pace suitable for rap ciphers and breakdancers alike. Sinuous drum patterns snake around whomping bass while ghostly synths float in the background, creating a foreboding ambience akin to gqom. Banga, formerly known as Petit Piment, somehow makes her version sound more upbeat, likely due to the deep bassline and lively chants. MCs like Sho Madjozi or Nah Eto could do serious damage with this dynamic rhythmic palette.
