KONGOS IN CONCERT:
South African-bred family band Kongos continues to gain fans around the globe with their boot-stomping sound and high-energy live performances. The band's four brothers possess an undeniable chemistry on stage, and their knowledge of both their craft and each other really shine as they tear through tracks like "Come With Me Now" and "I'm Only Joking". With their music receiving heavy radio airplay in the US and Canada, the boys of Kongos are ready and raring for another rollicking round of shows on tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Dylan, Daniel, Jesse, and Johnny Kongos were raised splitting time between London and South Africa. Their earliest exposure to music came via their singer-songwriter father, who encouraged them to toy around with the instruments in his home studio. After relocating to their mother's hometown of Phoenix, AZ, they formed their namesake band and began to hone their sound. They released their self-titled debut album in 2007, supporting the record with extensive touring that earned them a strong regional following. They released their sophomore album Lunatic in their native South Africa in 2011, topping several charts in that country with the single "I'm Only Joking". The album was released in the US in 2013 and fared equally well, earning them their first stateside No. 1 with the anthemic hit "Come With Me Now". A phenomenally talented act with big things on the horizon, Kongos continues to floor ticket buyers around the country with their must-see performances on tour.
Awesome! Second time I go see them in Montreal! I love the stage and the atmosphere it gives to the music. This album was for me a way to get out of anxiety and depression and to go see them live just made me happier and consolidated my feeling towards them! I love them and their show is always very entertaining and with very very good music quality.
This was my second time seeing the Kongos at Danforth Music Hall and it was even better than the last. Always an amazing show with lots of energy and great people.
Killer show! Peiple don't realize what they're missing
Fantastic show, super music, easy and interesting to listen.
Saw Kongo's in summer at Velvet Underground. Danforth Music Hall show was even better! Band has tightened up. They look and sound like pros now!! Fascinating graphics - cool smoke ring machine lol - love it!! I really like this band and will follow them closely now. Can't wait for their return but may travel to see them.
Great musicians. High energy, very talented. Would love to see them again!
The music was absolutely great. The sound was amazing, we could hear them extremely well along with their instruments. Their stage presence was very welcoming and they really got the crowd into it. It was, overall, a phenomenal performance and I would go see them again in a heartbeat. Both albums are my new obsession and I'm constantly playing them on repeat.
These guys make for a great night, love their vibe and character. I have listened to them for a long time on the radio but seeing them live was fantastic.
Loved the Hall for sight-lines that were close and personal. the warm up band was lively and sharp. Kongos were all I hoped they would be and more. Wonderful performance.
Though the wait was long before Kongos actually came onstage, it was worth it! Mesmerizing drumming--amazing how they all take turns on lead voice, even the drummer. These guys are easy on the eyes too--if only I were 25 years younger! It was a nice mixed crowd--young and grey hairs too.
