Grupo Lokito create a modern-day cocktail, fusing blistering contemporary Congolese grooves with the fire of Cuban music.
The glorious melodious vocals of Congolese front men Kas Kasongo and Iddo Donnatella blends with soaring guitars courtesy of Kenyan rising star Shama Shah, and the lilting keyboards of Latin piano player Sara. All of this sits on top of the rhythmic powerhouse team of Ladi Mbala (rhythm guitar), Raphael (drums), Lilli (congas) and Jimmy (bass). When the occasion allows we add a blistering 3 piece horn section: Clare Hirst (Sax), Landy Díaz (trombone) and Shanti Jayasinha (Trumpet).
Since their formation in 2006 the band have gone from strength to strength, completing several UK tours and building a solid following.
