Ricardo Lemvo & Makina Loca

Raised in The Democratic Republic of the Congo (known as Zaire at the time) with Angolan family roots, Ricardo Lemvo creates an exhilarating mix of African soukous, Cuban salsa and Angolan rhythms. His band’s latest project, La Rumba SoYo, has been called “a street party you have to dance your way through. Bright horns, fantastic bass lines, amazing percussion, and melodies that linger for days.”—POP! Stereo
