L.A.P.
Pure percussive and pulsating drum energy
The Story
The full L.A.P (Live Africa Percussion) made their debut performance in 2005 at the launch of Madala Kunene’s album “Uxolo” where they left a stunned local audience presenting their percussive madness. L.A.P. are Bafana Nhlapo, Frank Magongwa, Gontse Makhene & Zwelakhe Zwana aka Ragga. The group is pure percussive and pulsating drum energy that picks you up and invites you to join the heartbeat of Africa – the drum. L.A.P.’salbum “Stiff Pap and the Gang” features additional guest performances by some fine South African talents such as Tlale Makhene, Mabi Thobejane, the late Moses Khumalo, Samuel Masilo, Mathulwe Mashilo, Siya Makuzeni (Vivid Afrika), Della Tamin, Cameroonian guitarist and songwriter based in Johannesburg and Chilean percussionist/producer Angela Paz Alhucema. Bafana, Frank and Gontse are also members of South Africa’s most funky jazzy group called Kwani Experience.
