Loboko is a Congolese dance band based in New York City led by Yohni Loboko (Yohni Djungu-Sungu) a virtuosic guitarist, singer and multi-instrumentalist from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Yohni has performed with legends of Congolese music Fally Ipupa, Soukous Stars and Zaiko Langa Langa. He founded Loboko in 2019 along with drummer, DJ and journalist Morgan Greenstreet, with additional support from multi-instrumentalist and producer Nikhil P. Yerawadekar.

Loboko’s unique style draws on classic Congolese rumba and soukous, Baluba and Bakongo traditional music, and a heavy dose of contemporary seben delivered in a punchy, small-band format. In 2023, Loboko released the vinyl '45 "Kanyunyi / Ekenge" with the acclaimed Brooklyn label Names You Can Trust, featuring special guest Ngouma Lokito, veteran bassist with iconic acts such as Soukous Stars, Tshala Muana and Pépé Kallé.
