Embark on a captivating musical journey with Rébecca M’Boungou and her talented ensemble, featuring Arnaud Estor, Vianney Desplantes, Jérémie Poirier-Quinot, Nico Martin, and Jérôme Martineau-Ricotti.

In the enchanting world of Kolinga, Rébecca shares her personal experiences through a tapestry of melodies and influences. Her introspective lyrics explore history’s ghosts, the memories we confront and those we escape. Witness the fusion of Congolese electric guitars with jazz-infused melodies, creating a perpetual trance that oscillates between tranquil and vibrant rhythms.

Immerse yourself in the harmonies of polyphony as Kolinga transports you to a realm where the world’s heartaches fade, replaced by the transformative power of music to unite hearts and minds. Originally a duo, Kolinga has evolved into a dynamic sextet, driven by a resolute desire to express more, reach further, and resonate louder.

Unique collaborations, such as the track “Kongo” with Gaël Faye, have propelled the group to perform alongside him at the prestigious Olympia in December 2018. Don’t miss this extraordinary musical experience that transcends boundaries and ignites the spirit of unity through captivating performances and soul-stirring compositions.
