JOYCE N'SANA

She has the activism of a Tiken Jah Fakoly, the oratory skills of an Angélique Kidjo and the presence of an Erykah Badu. The voice of Joyce N’Sana, with its deep, soulful intonations, caresses her words with their message of peace. Her music is rooted in her history, that of the wars that have bled Congo dry and that of her father, who fled oppression carrying only his guitar and his bible. Her rousing sound, which she calls Afrobluehop, blends reggae, gospel, hip-hop and jazz in English, Lingala, Lari and Creole. Captivating.
