Friday 29 nov > Rebel Up @ Beursschouwburg Bxl, Congolese & African beats

Hey everyone,

This Friday 29 nov, a special concert night & afterparty @ Beursschouwburg!

Headliner of the night is Congolese band Kon’gongolo Kiniata from Kinshasa, masterful upcyclers who produce electro-Congolese rumba rock: a very own funky and punky flavour of experimental afro-pop, using an impressive arsenal of homemade percussion and string instruments from scrap metal. Their lyrics in Lingala pay homage to the working class, rebel against the war in Congo and advocate hope and perseverance for the youth of Kinshasa.

Before them, Brussels african group AKAR Collectif. A musical and visual collaboration between Shama Bongo (singer, producer & manager), Sarah Carlier (singer-songwriter, musician, music producer), Rokia Bamba (DJ, sound designer) and BenRichard (VJ, DJ, sound designer).

The evening is hosted by Rebel Up, SebCat will play warmup tunes & afterparty bangers together with Brussels based Italian-Congolese dj Laryssa Kim.

All info & tickets here.
See you there!

He invites listeners to dive into a singular sound universe, where the vibrations of Maloya blend with deep bass and catchy syncopated beats and a captivating ability to bring souls together, while breaking down boundaries.
