His music blends jazz rap with R&amp;B elements, resulting in a sound that\u2019s vibrant but just really, really smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">If there were one word to describe their performance, it would be infectious. Muhoza raps with clarity and intensity, but radiates pure, unadulterated joy. He bounces around the stage, hyping up his band and high-fiving them between songs. His band returns the energy in kind. Everyone looks genuinely happy to be there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">His right-hand man, Carson [Alphonse], is a fixture on almost every song. His soulful voice and skillful vocal runs provide the perfect complement to Muhoza\u2019s rapping, usually in the form of a catchy hook or a gorgeous chorus. The two play off each other effortlessly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" data-id=\"164417\" src=\"https:\/\/panm360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/FME2026-Day2-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-164417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/panm360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/FME2026-Day2-2.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/panm360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/FME2026-Day2-2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" data-id=\"164419\" src=\"https:\/\/panm360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/FME2026-Day2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-164419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/panm360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/FME2026-Day2-1.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/panm360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/FME2026-Day2-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Not enough can be said about the rest of his band. Somaya, a Montreal-based singer, brings a softer vocal touch, while Bianka, the man who can\u2019t seem to stop smiling, lays down tasteful guitar licks. Then there\u2019s his saxophonist and flutist, Noah Tremblay-Mimouni, who weaves flourishes of jazz into the music. Each member brings something great to the table.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Look, I can\u2019t speak French. I have no idea what any of the songs are about. But if we\u2019re going to challenge the age-old (corny) idea that music transcends language, there\u2019s no better artist to make the case than Muhoza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Prends soin de toi\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/3Vngym1DZ8rtUONTeq6mIB?si=JwXhpuEcSW2Ne6uo3JW8WQ&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the eve of their album release, Prends soin de toi, I was fortunate enough to stumble upon and witness Muhoza, a Cameroonian-Rwandan, Montreal-based rapper, alongside his eight-piece band.
