Bringing fresh fire from a brand new album. Bassy, brassy, sunshine guitars & slick drums — you won’t stop dancing to Afrojoyful Kongo Jazz!

It’s been a minute DALSTON! Get ready to DANCE!

KDN are back and buzzing for their first live gig in years at their spiritual home, The Jago.

On Saturday 23rd May, you will be among the first to hear a bunch of blazing hot new tracks that have never been played live before. Plus some tried and tested dancefloor favourites that have made it to the fire new album coming this year.

Led by the king of crowd participation, Congolese bassist Mulele Matondo, and co-founded with British jazz guitarist John Kelly, master of sublime sunshine sounds, KDN brings a perfect fusion of African roots and UK jazz. Will Scott and Mike Soper lift the roof with soul-rousing brass, while Mbouta Kissangwa on drums and rhythm guitarist Yves Tasinda lock in the driving grooves.

Africa’s finest dance music styles, revived, urbanised, and fused with a spicy sprinkle of jazz in KDN’s own brand of Afro-Joyful Kongo Jazz – straight up ass-shaking music. You will not be able to stop yourself!

Last time they graced this city it was a legendary set supporting Kanda Bongo Man at the Jazz Cafe. This time, the stage is all theirs. And they’re gonna own it.
