Congo Cowboys

Congo Cowboys is a country bluegrass band from South Africa. They play AFRICAN COWBOY music.

Formed by Freshlyground members Simon Attwell (banjo), Julio Sigauque (bass) and Congolese lead singer Chris Bakalanga (guitar), as well as South African drummer Unity Mzi.

Congo Cowboys' sound draws on the foot stomping qualities of bluegrass and country, reimagined through kwassa kwassa African rhythms and soukous guitar. They released their eponymous debut album in 2019. Visit www.congocowboys.com for more information.
