The Congolese singer-songwriter, dancer, producer, and founder of Quartier Latin International, is noted for his explosive high notes, deep, throaty baritone, and offbeat voice.

The Millennium Grounds in Lugogo will transform into a pulsating hub of African music this Saturday, August 16, 2025, as Uganda’s legendary Afrigo Band marks its 50-year milestone with a star-studded Golden Jubilee celebration.
