About this Event
Orchestre Moto ignites 60s–80s Congolese dance music—rumba, sebene & ndombolo with fiery guitars and Afro-Cuban roots.
Orchestre Moto is a NY/LA-based group reviving the “fire” of big band 60s–80s Congolese dance music. Featuring a diverse diaspora of musicians, they blend rumba, sebene, and ndombolo with intricate electric guitars and Afro-Cuban roots to showcase the explosive, modern sounds of Central Africa.
