“SPOTLIGHT ON” CYCLE
“Spotlight on” is a bi-annual cycle dedicated to the discovery of Congolese artists and their unique universe.
For one month, dive into the heart of musical creation through a series of immersive activities: meetings with people close to the artist (managers, producers), jam sessions, video screenings, workshops, and more.
Each edition explores the history of the group or artist, their musical influences, the instruments and techniques used, with a particular emphasis on our priorities: intergenerational, inter-ethnic, and interdisciplinary exchanges, promotion of traditional rhythms and promotion of parity.
The objective? To allow the public to discover or rediscover Congolese artists, to appreciate their contribution to the evolution of Congolese music, and to immerse themselves in the richness of traditional instruments and rhythms.
JUNE 2024 / SPOTLIGHT ON KONONO N°1
The “Making a traditional instrument” workshop allowed participants to learn how to make a likembe, Konono N°1’s favorite traditional instrument!
This workshop, which was very well attended and much appreciated, was led by the artist and craftsman Bouton Likembe Kalanda.
