Here is an unclassifiable project as we like. Kolinga is a sextet from the South-West of France gathered around the Franco-Congolese composer and singer Rebecca M’Boungou. The arrangements of her songs in French, English and Lingala dare to mix genres. In their music, there is a lot of soul, Congolese rumba, a hint of jazz, flirting brass and strings, fine polyphony and a lot of passion. After a first album ‘Earthquake’ and a collaboration with Gaël Faye on the track ‘Kongo’, Kolinga will perform his new album ‘Legacy’, An opus that proves once again that it is a project of feminine author, carried by artists animated by a purely creative approach. This album is voluntarily more acoustic, and carried by the cultural, family, spiritual and traditional heritage of Rebecca M’Boungou. In concert, Kolinga offers a singular experience, full of subtle groove, heady trance and contemporary poetry. A concert not to be missed, you’ll probably hear about this band again!
