"As an artist...understanding the melodies of others becomes a duty" – in June 2022, the Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall rocked to the sound of Hot Congotronics, a unique collaboration between London’s Hot Chipand Kinshasa’s Kasai Allstars. Produced by No Nation as part of Grace Jones’ Meltdown Festival.

This short film documents the remarkable story of how this supergroup came together, and how the artists worked together to produce a collaborative gig that showcased their respective sounds… all inside a few days… it is joyful to revisit it, and to get thinking about what now comes next...
