Based in
Kinshasa, the ensemble is organized as a collective and has six members, known individually as Sekembele, Deboule, Tche Tche, Abbe La Roche, Le Meilleur and Padou. The six grew up together in Kinshasa's Ngwaka neighborhood. In keeping with a longstanding Kinshasa tradition, the ensemble's instruments and costumes are 100% recycled. In addition to artistic goals, they bring a message of environmental awareness. Singer and drummer Sekelembele told
The Guardian, “In nature there is no trash because life reuses everything. Trash is toxic if it has no other use, so we give a second life to what we pick up.” The group's debut EP, Ngbaka, was released on February 18, 2022. According to
Pitchfork, Ngbaka is "first and foremost a party record, it’s tinged with an undercurrent of urgency, imploring the listener to shake their ass in one breath." Fulu Miziki performed at England's
WOMAD festival in 2022. In 2025 the group is undertaking a 34-city European tour from April through October. ==Discography==
