From underground to overground. From the forest to the metropolis. North Africa and South Africa meet, dig and find gold in the fault lines. Here, at the intersection of club track and ritual, electronics and ceremony, ancient and modern worlds come together. Other worlds, where inhibitions fall away, dancers shake free, and trance takes you there, far away. This is Archeology, Montparnasse Musique's stunning debut album. Accompanied by striking visuals and released on Real World Records, Archeology brings together the living rhythms of traditional and urban Africa with the programmed beats of modern Johannesburg. It is a distinctive sound: wild, nuanced, pan-African. Among the list of acclaimed Congolese musicians are singer/multi-instrumentalist Cubain Kabeya, singers Muambuyi and Mengu Waku, and guitarist Mopero Mupemba, as well as Congolese artists such as Mbongwana Star, Konono Nº1, and Kasai Allstars.
