Free electron of African music, the Zairian Lokua Kanza, before recording this album in 1993, already had a great musical experience. From 1980, he was the guitarist of a great Zairian star: Queen Abeti. In 1982, he made a stopover in Ivory Coast before arriving in France in 1984 to go to his jazz ranges at C.I.M, the famous Parisian school. Then the meetings accumulate, Ray Lema (with whom he sings until 1988), Papa Wemba, Sixun (he is a backing singer on the group's albums), Claude Nougaro, and finally, in 1990, he becomes the singer of Manu Dibango until 1993 and this eponymous debut album.

A great opportunity to discover the unusual career of this artist with discreet and bewitching charm. Lokua Kanza will have been slow to take his place on the world scene, undoubtedly because of an eclecticism that we could have seen as indecision. But precisely, the young man with the frail voice likes nothing more than to kiss the whole world. So he lets his heart speak and gives life in his own way to songs he loves above all.

On his latest album, Nkolo, Congolese singer Lokua Kanza draws on sounds from his father s village and his native Lingala tongue to give the African Diaspora a musical sense of place. Listening to the album is an unabashedly uplifting experience the theme of love is ever-present. The title track Nkolo translates as God and the album is unashamedly spiritual. A devout Christian, Kanza cut his musical teeth aged eight singing in the church in Kinshasha. Kanza, who now lives mainly in Brazil, was known as the Brazilian from an early age.
