Kizaba is an artist whose rich musical style evokes the Congo. Join him on Fumu na betu, an Afro-futuristic journey that blends traditionally inspired songs with soukous, Afrobeat and pop-rock sounds.

Accompanied on stage by a Congolese guitarist, a rhythm rock guitarist and a DJ, Kizaba sings and plays drums and percussion, blending electronic music with traditional Congolese sounds to create an Afro-futuristic universe. As part of this unique and fascinating performance, images of 3D masks are projected onto a screen installed behind the group. Designed by Kizaba himself, the visuals are reminiscent of traditional Congolese masks, to which he adds a futuristic touch to transport the audience into another dimension. Kizaba is also a practitioner of sapology, reflecting the SAPE culture established by the Société des ambianceurs et des personnes élégantes (literally, “Society of Influencers and Elegant People”). Through his fascinating and energizing Congolese Afro-electro musical style, Kizaba seeks to create unifying music that engages and captivates audiences.
