DRC Music plan Rough Trade showcase
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 29 November 2011
Members of DRC Music, the Damon Albarn-led collective of electronic producers and Congolese musicians, are to present a “unique collaborative performance” at London’s Rough Trade East on 6 Dec.
As previously reported, Albarn and a cast of producers – not least Kwes, Actress and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs – recorded DRC Music’s debut album, ‘Kinshasa One Two’, in the Democratic Republic of Congo working with local singers and instrumentalists to raise funds for Oxfam.
With the first line-up announcement expected on Thursday, details are currently scarce. You can, however, procure a free wristband guaranteeing entry, and keep track of future additions to the bill, at the Rough Trade site.
