about

Bilongo - a Bantu word meaning spell or potion - medicine for the soul.

Bilongo began as a quintet, and over time has continued to grow, adding a second horn and a vocalist to the ensemble. For our 5th year anniversary, we wanted to document the band’s sound. We rented a chalet in Glacier, WA and hired recording engineers to do a remote recording of the two day session. For this project, we invited our long-time friend, Mars Lindgren to join us on trombone. The songs were recorded live, and with limited edits.
