With the UK set to swelter under record breaking temperatures over the next few days, dancing may be the last thing on anyone’s mind at the moment. But if you do decide to hold a party over the next couple of days, then I thoroughly recommend Nzanginika from Pierre Moutouari as a floor filler for your Spotify playlist. It does away with the standard soukous template of slow start into storming finish; instead Nzanginika goes straight for the jugular and propels the listener onto the dancefloor from the opening note. The invigorating guitar work and cries of Allez, Allez, Allez makes this feel like the soukous equivalent of Johnny B Goode. Having started so strong, it slightly loses energy as it nears its end, but if you are looking to get in some exercise during the heatwave, simply open your refrigerator door, turn this up loud and jit for all you’re worth.
