THE YOUNG BAKUBA
Fresh from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), The Young Bakuba is the hottest sound to hit the markets this season. Originally founded by Director Wankebulua Domingos, and established in 1993 in Namibia , the band has overcome wars, immigration and hardship to bring its audience their latest hit latest album, Sacrifice.

This titillating album has already been starred in the movie “Lord of War” starring Nicolas Cage. The Americans fell in love with their sound and their tracks are to be used as background music for the movie Lord of War.

It was in March of 1995 back in Angola , where the band was almost no more! Due to the ongoing war the band had a serious battle to survive. It was at this critical point that the founder ventured further South to seek potential in the South African market. This proved to be a difficult escape from the war torn Congo , but one by one the band members eventually arrived on South African soil, leaving behind their heritage and their relatives. This band has been together for eight years, have persevered through the test of time, and this reflects in the wealth and richness of their sounds and messages in their music.

In South Africa , the band has established a brilliant reputation for themselves , having shared the stage with many big names in the music industry. These include the likes of Jimmi Dludlu and Hugh Masekela, to name but a few. The Congolese sound has carried throughout the years, and with some influence from their experiences in South Africa , the outcome is phenomenal.

The band has managed to attract massive support and attention in Cape Town . Their Cameroonian Makossa music has infiltrated into Southern Africa and other African countries over time. Tourists from all over have appreciated their style of music as well as their presence on the stage. This is indeed “ a very talented band who use vocals, drums, guitars and konga instruments to produce their entertaining music .” This band, a band that is made entirely of refugees has made a name for themselves despite their status and their constant battle with xenophobia and prejudice in South Africa .

The band has over the years performed at various venues in and around Cape Town . Their weekly performance occurs at the home of African cuisine, Marcos African Place . They have recently completed recording a music video to promote there soon to be released album.

Working under new management, their manager Mohamed Fall – the first black owner of a production studio in the Western Cape – has assisted the band reach the heights they are currently at, and they are aiming for much higher so watch this space!
