Zongo Junction is a nine-piece instrumental Afrobeat band based in Brooklyn, New York. The band was formed by Charles Ferguson after he spent six months in Ghana, West Africa. The members of Zongo Junction stretch the Afrobeat style to fit their musical interests, combining elements of Sun Ra, The Talking Heads, and Fela Kuti to create their own version of afrobeat. Zongo Junction released their five-song debut EP Thieves! in 2010.
