About Rhumba Japani:
“There’s a Congolose band called Rhumba Japan. We used to go watch them play at a pub in Nairobi after our practice to avoid rush hour bus fare, [that way it was affordable to go home later]. The jam is an ode to them and the significance of those times in our journey.” explains Sauti Sol.
