Afro Fiesta

Hailing from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mermans “Mofaya” Mosengo and Jason Tamba formed Afro Fiesta, and recently rounded out the band with Coco Buono and Jose Agote, two members of the Argentine rock band Los Pinguos.

With early musical influences such as Bob Marley, Tracy Chapman and Peter Tosh, the band plays a fusion of eclectic styles including Afro-beat, reggae and Latin rhythms. You may recognize them from playing with Twanguero in their other band, Los Silverbacks.

Afro Fiesta has been part of the movement Playing For Change (PFC) since its inception. PFC aims to inspire, connect and bring peace to the world through music. Through PFC, Afro Fiesta has performed more than 400 concerts in over 25 countries, including headlining in Brazil for an audience of 35,000 and opening for Robert Plant in Australia. Earning a reputation as innovators, Afro Fiesta has performed at numerous music festivals, including SXSW and OBZ Festival in South Africa.
