Singer, songwriter, arranger, Lokua Kanza returns stronger than ever with his new album
Moko
, whose first single
Tout va bien
was unveiled on April 21,
see the official video
.
The result of eight years of work, the artist revealed on June 4, 2021 his hyper-dancing album. By combining Mongo rhythm and Mandingo guitar, rumba and mbalax, Brazilian bossa or symphonic majesty,
Lokua Kanza
offers an initiation into a unique journey. Between the Indian flute,
the Budapest Symphony Orchestra
conducted by
Chris Walden
and Lokua's most faithful companions:
Manu Dibango
,
Étienne Mbappé
,
Ray Lema
,
Narveen Kumar
or
Wasis Diop
, the artist surrounds himself with the best.
This work, carried out by the largest African production with nearly 100 musicians and recorded in 12 different countries in live condition, reflects a work carried out with major collaborations around the world.
