Peruvian electronic musician Alejandra Cárdenas and Congolese guitarist Titi Bakorta join forces on a fast-moving album that’s brightly colored, dizzyingly detailed, and wildly fun.

The collaboration between the Congolese guitarist and Peruvian composer is a sparkling prospect on paper, but only fulfils its promise in patches.

This Peruvian-Congolese partnership transforms traditional African guitar-playing with thrillingly chaotic sound design
