Monzanto Sound is a band from London fusing together different styles from the African Diaspora and combining them with a hypnotic, psychedelic edge. They are a high energy, rhythmic group with an ear for space and simplicity capable of getting any crowd moving. Their sonic aesthetic is something that is considered carefully as they incorporate synths and effects in a way that has more inspiration from 90s dance and electronic music. Mimi Koku, the lead singer, has a soulful, African sound and writes intentional, captivating lyrics, which have an emotional honesty that speak on multiple levels. People have described them as a blend between Can and Radiohead, with dubby off kilter funk grooves.
