In the organizer's words:

The king of "Mbokalization" comes to Germany for the first time - two exclusive concerts with his groundbreaking Afro sound!

Afara Tsena Fukushima - The pioneer of "Mbokalization"

With his real name Owary Houssene Raphaël, AFARA TSENA has established himself as a key figure of the new Congolese music generation. His innovative style "Mbokalization" combines the energy of traditional Congolese rhythms (Losseba, Ndombolo) with a modern urban sound - an explosive mixture that led him to be nominated for the prestigious Primud Awards in 2023.

His hits such as"Afro Mbokalization","Jalousie" and"Mboka Mopaya" are global phenomena:

- Million streams and viral trends in 15+ countries

- Soundtrack of countless TikTok challenges

- Ambassador of Congolese culture on international stages

"My music is a bridge between tradition and modernity - it should connect people and celebrate our rich culture," says the artist, whose energetic live shows have already caused a sensation in Paris' legendary Cabaret Sauvage.
