Afrobeat from The Congo
Jupiter & Okwess come from a country with immense natural resources in the hands of a few, where everyone else faces impoverishment. Jupiter’s lyrics focus on this painful history and how to overcome it, using parables to denounce injustice. The music is the fruit of all the encounters and influences Jupiter has absorbed during his many journeys around the world. It’s a recipe based on perfect alchemy, enriched by funk, soul, rumba, rock and deep Congolese traditions and rhythms.
