‘A TRIBUTE TO PAPA WEMBA’

Papa Wemba was more than an artist for many African generations. He was a guide, a trendsetter, a brilliant innovator. Over a career spanning more than five decades, he constantly amazed from " Zaiko Langa Langa " through his legendary group "Viva La Musica " and his collaborations with renowned artists such as Peter Gabriel. Not only did he revolutionize the 60s Congolese Rumba by giving it a new "electric" or should we say “electrifying " sound, but he was also one of the major musicians to project African music on the international scene .
At the initiative of Klay Mawungu and Yannick Koy, several generations of artists, government representatives and fans will gather at BOZAR to celebrate his memory. With Papa Wemba’s music played by Congolese musicians from Belgium and France.
