Kolinga

In the organizer's words:

The band Kolinga stands for a mixture of pop, Congolese rumba, jazz, soul, chanson and hip-hop, whose name means both "to connect" and "to encircle" in Lingala. Founded as a duo by singer Rébecca M'Boungou and multi-instrumentalist Arnaud Estor, the band has now grown into a virtuoso sextet. Rébecca M'Boungou has Congolese roots and grew up in the southwest of France. Her life between two cultures shapes her emotional music, which is sensual, virtuoso and elegant and gets straight to your feet. The album "Legacy", released in 2022, tells of polyphonic identity, memories of history and the uprooted present.
