KOLINGA

This enveloping, inclusive and all-encompassing energy forges a link between people and between worlds, and takes us to the deepest recesses of our soul – the part that remembers that we are one. Led by the musician, author, composer and singer Rébecca M’Boungou, it brings to life stories that have been forgotten or silenced for far too long – the stories of women, and of ancestors who still knew how to listen to the wisdom that the cycles of nature and life constantly whisper to us.

Kolinga presents her latest album, a skilful blend of contemporary music, jazz and Bantu music. Rébecca’s socially conscious lyrics bring feminist, children’s rights, environmental and decolonial struggles to the fore, without ever detaching them from the personal. The magic happens when the groove makes hearts sing and bodies dance.
