Nuits d’Afrique : Lil K HPB

Sat 22 Jul 2023 • 03:30 pm Afrobeat
Scène Loto-Québec - Montréal Gratuit
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

“Son répertoire de chansons d’amour, surtout interprétées en anglais, possède les attributs pop des succès des Davido, Wizkid et autre Burna Boy, quoique subtilement teinté des couleurs rumba du géant voisin du Burundi, la République démocratique du Congo” (Le Devoir, 2023). Déjà très jeune, il déclamait dans la rue. Récipiendaire du Syli de bronze 2023, Lil K HPB, qui est né au Burundi mais a grandi au Rwanda, est un jeune chanteur et rappeur émergent, influencé par l’Afrobeat nigérian. La modulation de ses phrasés, qui appuie efficacement ses propos, ainsi que son assurance sur scène, laissent présager un avenir prometteur.

“His repertoire of love songs, mostly sung in English, has the pop attributes of hits by Davido, Wizkid and Burna Boy, though subtly tinged with the rumba colors of Burundi’s giant neighbor, the Democratic Republic of Congo” (Le Devoir, 2023). Even as a youngster, he was already declaiming in the streets. Winner of the Syli de bronze 2023, Lil K HPB, who was born in Burundi but grew up in Rwanda, is an emergzing young singer and rapper, influenced by Nigerian Afrobeat. The modulation of his phrasing, which effectively supports his words, and his confidence on stage, suggest a promising future.
