Jean-Marie Bolangassa – Brazzaville Percussions (EP)

Jean-Marie Bolangassa – Brazzaville Percussions EP (Sofrito)

A standout EP from master percussionist Jean-Marie Bolangassa, founding member of M’Bamina and longtime figure in Congolese and European music scenes. Brazzaville Percussions showcases three powerful tracks blending traditional Congolese drumming with stripped-back drum machine patterns and minimal synth.

The result is raw, hypnotic, and rhythmically adventurous — sitting somewhere between deep percussion studies, Afro-disco, and experimental techno. Released on Sofrito, this is a deep-digger’s delight and a crucial document of rhythmic futurism.

Tracklisting:

• A1. Disna Ngai
