Kasai Masai - Tribal Connection

Make sure you check out London-based Kasai Masai, a 5-piece band performing traditional music from the Kasai region in Congo with a modern twist. Named after a river, Kasai lies in the heart of the rain forest where many tribes such as the Baka still maintain their traditional lifestyles. The Masai, just like the Baka, are another dignified tribe whose lives still centre around a nomadic existence.
