Kizaba: Between Ancestrality and Afro-Futurism

Interview by Sandra Gasana
Genres and styles : Africa / Afro-Electro / Afrobeat

Additional Information

Kizaba, which means scholar or philosopher in Lingala, epitomizes his name. Always on the lookout for new experiences, he’s not afraid to be avant-garde in everything he does. With Future Village, he offers us a return to the ancestral, always with his electronic and afro-futuristic touch. The man who is constantly on the road, between Asia and Latin America, through Africa, will be in Montreal for the launch of his third album on April 12 at Théâtre Fairmount. For the occasion, he has several surprises in store, including a live painting, a pop-up with clothes from his future collection, and dance performances. In short, all the ingredients for an evening in the artist’s image, blending music, dance and fashion. Our journalist Sandra Gasana spoke to Kizaba for PAN M 360.
