**The Bongolian** is the groovy solo project of British multi-instrumentalist Nasser Bouzida, a cult favorite known for crafting retro-futuristic jams that mash up ’60s lounge, funk, and psychedelic beats. Armed with Hammond organs, Moog synths, and a serious bongo obsession, Bouzida (who also played in bands like The Bees and The Soundcarriers) channels a playful, cinematic vibe that feels like a Tarantino soundtrack meets a spy-movie house party. Tracks like “Harlem Hipshake” and “B-Boy Toga Party” showcase his knack for layering surf-rock twang, breakbeats, and cheeky pop culture nods into dancefloor-ready bangers. Since the early 2000s, The Bongolian’s releases (often on labels like Freestyle Records) have become go-to gems for DJs and vinyl diggers hunting for that sweet spot between vintage cool and modern swagger. Live shows crank up the energy with Bouzida’s one-man-band wizardry, proving you don’t need a crew to get hips shaking.
