MUSIC CENTER KINARMONIK
THE PRODUCTION POLE
The Kinarmonik Production Label is dedicated to the promotion and production of artists and tours. Committed to supporting the Congolese music scene, this center's mission is to propel emerging groups, by offering them the resources and support necessary to make themselves known both on the national and international scene.
Each year, the hub also organizes the KinaGroove Festival , a major event held on June 21, celebrating the diversity and richness of Congolese talents.
Equipped with a state-of-the-art recording studio, the production center allows artists to make professional recordings, guaranteeing exceptional sound quality for their projects. Kinarmonik is thus positioned as a key player in the development and promotion of music in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
STUDIO KINARMONIK

In 2019, encouraged by the success of the center's "all on site", the musicians expressed the wish to be able to record their musical projects also in the same place.
The recording studio becomes a necessity and the logical continuation of the professionalization process put in place.
Recording as many activities as possible (jam, concert, rehearsal) allows us to develop a “Kinarmonik sound”, a musical identity and to create the KINARMONIK PRODUCTION Label.
For a year, François Gouverneur (Studio Gouv.) trained Eric in the profession of sound engineer, and also gave us some of the equipment and valuable advice.
On August 20, 2020, the Kinarmonik studio officially opened its doors and has since welcomed many musicians and groups who came to record their album, demo or title; Blanche de La Taste, Arobase & Biakudja, Nelly & Madiba, Jupiter & Okwess and many other artists.
The Kinarmonik studio is also a job creator, in 2020 the French singer Blanche DLT came to record her album and recruit 5 Congolese musicians locally.

"I met Eric before the Kinarmonik studio existed. The day he told me about his project, I knew I wanted to record my album there and yet the place didn't exist!
A studio is not a place, it's a state of mind..."
