**300 copies, 2019 stock** Punk Kong is a chameleon, it changes color according to the circumstances to avoid being part of any particular musical idiom. The bassless ensemble offers you a crossover among African blues, avant-garde jazz, noise rock and improvised music. In addition to his collaborations with improvisers from all over the world, the leader and guitarist of the group Giotis Damianidis was influenced by his long collaboration with the legends of Afro-beat Oghene Kologbo and Tony Allen (both musicians of Fela Kuti). In 2018, he also played and recorded with Akira Sakata, the Japanese master of improvisation and free jazz, and focused mainly on free music... but we always find the memory of African grooves in his palette!

 

Viktor Perdieus: tenor & baritone sax
Gregoire Tirtiaux: alto & baritone sax
Ruben Verbruggen: alto & baritone sax
