Both recognized in their field, ils make themselves available with young musicians from the centre, answer their questions about music and advise them. Each year, they donate instruments or other materials to the center and volunteer in musical projects: in 2023, Yarol will mix and play on the YOTSI album.
Ray Lema sponsors Déo young pianist, receives us regularly to advise us in our projects and in 2022 donated to us a bass guitar, an acoustic guitar and de many books.
For Kinarmonik, it's an increase in terms of visibility, but it also allows us to reach a more diverse audience and promote Congolese music.
Music Fund is a Belgian non-profit association that supports music schools and socio-artistic projects in conflict zones and developing countries, but also in Europe. They collect musical instruments, repair them and give them a second life by donating them to musical projects. In 2018, Music fund gave Kinarmonik 10 acoustic guitars that musicians use every day. In 2018, Eric went to Belgium to pick up the guitars and met Jo Label from Music Fund there.
