British - Congolese born, from the capital of the Congo, Robert Maseko is part of the new wave and vibes an innovated artists who are re-interpreting hip-swinging Congolese soukous music with a touch of Londoner and Music globaliser.
With his band the Congo Beat he has gone back to the rumba roots that so entranced Africa and added touches of reggae, flamenco, tango, meringue and zouk. Elegant vocals, sizzling guitar and rumba propelled bass lines explore the deep roots of Afrobeat and the connections between African, Cuban and Carribean music.
The wonderful lilting rhythm of Robert Maseko and Congobeat had us all up on our feet.
