Zongo Junction
Zongo Junction is an instrumental Afrobeat band based in Brooklyn, New York.[1]. The band was formed by Charles Ferguson after he spent six months in Ghana Africa[2]. The members of Zongo Junction stretch the Afrobeat style to fit their musical interests [3], combining elements of Sun Ra, The Talking Heads, and Fela Kuti to create their own version of afrobeat [4]. Zongo Junction released their five song debut EP in 2010 [4].
