Afropop Video Premiere: "This Is KiT"

One of the coolest, friendliest and, without a doubt, most <em>energetic</em> groups to cross our aural radar over the last year or two has been Kuenta i Tambu, the Curaçaoan party starters who mix the bass-heavy sounds of modern dance music with the uptempo rhythms of traditional <em>tambu</em> to powerful effect. We caught the group during their first time in New York last January, taping an <a href="http://bkindiemedia.bricartsmedia.org/music/b-side-kit/">acoustic performance</a> with them at BRIC's studios, and featuring them in our show <a href="https://afropop.test.ejaedesign.com/wp/17901/afropop-live-nyc-musical-metropolis/">"New York Musical Metropolis."</a> While you can certainly get a taste for KiT's sound from afar, grasping the band's charm--and the astounding wave-your-flag-and-forget-your-worries electricity of their live show--requires a different approach. Which is why the band produced <em>This is KiT</em>, a mini-documentary made during their time at this year's South by Southwest. Check it out--and then, when they're next in town, be sure to check <em>them</em> out. <iframe loading="lazy" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/CcXiNZrZHTw?rel=0" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe>
