Kizaba

What will the Congolese music of the future sound like? To feel the vibe and the exaltation, only one voice leads to Afro-futurism: that of Kizaba! An artist in a class of his own, fully inhabited by the music of his origins for its immortality, the Révélation Radio-Canada 2024-2025 is more than ever in the spotlight. In Canada, the Juno Awards praised his art and his unique approach on the album Kizavibe, to be released in 2022 on the Disques Nuits d'Afrique label, in the running in many categories for the world music album of this original creator in the garb of the 22nd century...

If Kizaba's followers are legion, from here to the African continent, it's because the singer-songwriter impresses with his multi-instrumental playing. Like a one-man band, he lifts the inventive rhythm of Afro-Congolese electro, for which he holds the treble key.

An inexhaustible traveler in search of fusion, Lionel KIZABA has sealed alliances across the globe. Singing his vision of tomorrow's world in English and French, he also draws on the languages of his African youth in Kikongo and Lingala. It's a must to see him live on stage, to immerse yourself in his exuberant spirit on the mystical border between Kinshasa and the asphalt of the Boulevard Saint-Laurent. Amazing!

Future Village, his highly anticipated second album, will be released on Friday, April 11 (Disques Nuits d'Afrique / Believe), and Kizaba will offer an exceptional launch concert on April 12 at Fairmount Theater.
