From the very beginning, General Rebelle and his artificers have drawn on all the rhythms of the Congo to unleash their superpowers: rock and funk, ready for every kind of fusion and every invitation. From Damon Albarn to Money Mark (Beastie Boys), from Rogê’s samba to Marcelo D2’s rap, from New Orleans brass to the voice of Chilean singer and activist Ana Tijoux, Jupiter & Okwess fear neither encounters nor the wildest journeys. They have even conquered Latin America, joyfully reinventing the triangular trade of sounds.
It comes as no surprise from an artist who, on his very first record, proclaimed: “Ich bin ein Congolese, the world is my land.” “We all have ancestors in Africa,” Jupiter reminds us, “who also practiced music. And if Africa looks like a revolver, its trigger is… the Congo.” Ready, aim, go! From Kinshasa, Jupiter and his joyful pistoleros fire the starting gun: a new world tour awaits. Follow their incandescent star.
