The Flow Afro boss, modern sorcerer of the Congo River
Le boss du flow afro, sorcier moderne du fleuve Congo
BALOJI
Congo - Belgique / Congo - Belgium
Crammed Disc
Kinshasa Succursale
Venu du hip hop et de Belgique, le congolais Baloji a pris les chemins ondoyants des black-musics pour remonter le fil d’une histoire personnelle jusqu’aux rives de la bouillonnante Kinshasa. Son phrasé aguerri et éclairé s’est affranchi des conventions pour musarder sans concession du côté de la rumba congolaise, de la soul vintage, de l’afro-funk ou du mutuashi pour façonner une musique à l’élan visionnaire, transcontinentale et incisive. Au travers de son groove malicieux où se répondent likembés, balafons ou autres guitares frénétiques, ce sorcier équatorial glisse des textes à la lucidité implacable marquant d’une pierre blanche la création musicale afro-urbaine.
The Congolese Baloji comes to us from Belgium and his music originates in hip hop. His personal journey has taken him through the winding roads of black music all the way to the whirlpool of Kinshasa. From a hard and enlightened style of music, he has wandered near Congolese rumba, soul vintage, Afro-Funk and Mutuashi and he has freed himself from conventions. Along the way, he has created his own vision of incisive transcontinental music. His mischievous groove mixes likembés, balafons and other frenzied guitars. His texts are lucid and relentless. The result marks a milestone for Afro-Urban music and for his Equatorial sorcerer.
