Kin'Gongolo Kiniata
Electro funk / Congo
In the heart of rebellious Kinshasa, many unusual music groups are emerging, and Kin'gongolo Kiniata is THE band not to be missed right now. The five artists captivate us with music that blends electro, borders on rock ‘n’ roll, and caresses the rhythms of the country in the Congolese style.
Guiss Guiss Bou Bess
Afro-electro / Senegal - France
Guiss Guiss Bou Bess is a window onto Dakar's young music scene. The duo, consisting of Senegalese Mara Seck and French Stéphane Costantini, is supported by the virtuoso percussion of Aba Diop. They fuse the rhythms and songs of sabar with global bass culture; electro-sabar is born.
Congolese Rumba & Soukous / DRC
At the heart of Kinshasa's Matonge neighborhood, Les Papys de la Rumba are a living symbol of Congolese rumba in all its richness, warmth, and elegance. Based on the rooftop terrace of the Hôtel La Crèche, this intergenerational group has been playing the legendary sounds of Congolese music for years in an atmosphere that is both intimate and popular.
Tiganá Santana
Philosophical Folk / Brazil
African ancestry and culture inspire the music of this multilingual artist, the first Brazilian artist to sing and compose in African languages such as Kikongo and Kimbundu from Angola and Congo. His pen and voice are equally brilliant when expressing the sounds of his native Portuguese, Spanish, English, or French.
Bedouin Burger
Electro folk / Lebanon - Syria
Lynn Adib flirts with jazz and Arabic music with insolence; her voice betrays her Bedouin nature and invites even the most sedentary souls to travel.
Zeid Hamdan, the “Pope of underground music in the Middle East,” has managed to rekindle a taste for Arabic music in a whole new generation with delightful productions that only he knows the secret to.
Clement Janinet & Adama Sidibe
Jazz World / France - Mali
Led by performer Founé Sow and producer Nader Mekdachi, this duo creates a vibrant and unprecedented fusion. Together, they build an original repertoire where French, Wolof, and Soninke intertwine and echo one another. Balancing urban poetry and African heritage, their music—both roots and contemporary—skilfully blends distorted guitars, grooveboxes, percussion, and synthesisers.
Saad Tiouly
Gnawa Music / Maroc
Born in Casablanca, Saad Tiouly revisits traditional Moroccan music—particularly the Gnawa art form—by infusing it with modern energy and a unique psychedelia. On stage, this multi-faceted artist stands out for his intense live performances and unique visual world, crafting his own instruments and costumes. Driven by a universal vision, he blends secular and electronic sounds to export his heritage across the globe.
Sotak Musik
MELAO
Ghetto Kumbé
Afro-futurist / Colombia
Afro-futurist Colombian collective setting stages ablaze worldwide, fusing electronic rhythms and Afro-Caribbean roots beneath the glow of their iconic fluorescent masks.

Erol Josué
Haitian music / Haiti
A singer, dancer, and practicing houngan (Vodou priest), Erol Josué is like the Vodou spirits that inhabit him , a singular collision of times and geographies. Alternating between relentless groove and incantations, he dissolves the codified boundaries between music and choreography into a complete ritual-performance, a true taking possession of space and time.
