Baloji
ESNS:
2017
You can't take the Congo out of a Congolese living in Belgium and that's definitely something to be thankful for. Just listen to Baloji. He stands at the crossroads of African music, rap, the French singer-songwriter tradition, electronic music (trance, deep house) and Afro-American music (soul, funk, jazz), which he discovered through hip hop culture and sampling. His next album is will arrive early this year.
