		The trio's music is rooted in the rhythms of house music, but they incorporate reggae, dancehall, rap and contemporary RandB.

		Bongolution is the group's first international release on Sony Music International/Lightyear Entertainment, and their fourth album, which finds them continuing to expand the boundaries of kwaito.

		Dahomay (the name itself evocative of Mother Africa) has a mature, commanding voice with a tempering vibrato that effectively leads and anchors the group's sound.
