Zongo Junction 'Elephant & Mosquito' (Captain Planet Remix)


Late last year we nodded towards 10-man afrobeat ensemble Zongo Junction's dynamic take on the classic West African sounds of Fela, Tony Allen, Sunny Ade and many more. In this instance, gumbo funk/future-Chimurenga producer Captain Planet reworks the Brooklyn group's horn-flanked "Elephant & Mosquito" into a head-nodding summertime beat. Download "Elephant & Mosquito (Captain Planet Remix) below and follow Zongo Junction on their bandcamp/facebook and looks for their upcoming 7" out May 21 via Primary Records.
