Useful information
about the performance
The band Kolinga stands for a mixture of pop, Congolese rumba, jazz, soul, chanson and hip-hop, whose name means both “to connect” and “to encircle” in Lingala. Founded as a duo by singer Rébecca M’Boungou and multi-instrumentalist Arnaud Estor, the band has now grown into a virtuoso sextet. Rébecca M’Boungou has Congolese roots and grew up in the south-west of France. Her life between two cultures characterises her emotional music, which is sensual, virtuoso and elegant and gets straight to the heart. The album “Legacy”, released in 2022, tells of polyphonic identity, memories of history and the uprooted present.

"Rébecca Mboungou combines soul and chanson with highlife and Afrobeat. An album that tells the story of how enriching it can be to grow up with two cultures."
