From June 26 to 28, Couleur Café teams up with Solidarité Congo, a solidarity-driven initiative led by the nonprofit collective of the same name, for a dedicated outreach space designed as a key moment to raise awareness about the ongoing conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and its victims. For this edition, they join us with a diverse crew of iconic artists of Congolese descent, promising an absolute dance fest at the Red Stage on Sunday June 28th.  

Curious to see the stars that will ignite the stage? You can find the first three names below! 

Ntaba 2 London

You’ve probably already heard the vibes of Ndombopiano or Mood on your feeds or at a party. That’s the sound of Ntaba 2 London, the Franco-Congolese artist who rose to fame through her viral dance moves and infectious energy on social media. She’s the bridge between tradition and modernity, blending Congolese rumba and ndombolo with global sounds. But her sound is more than just a hit: it’s a message of unity and joy, a call to come together, dance, and celebrate life—a perfect fit for Solidarité Congo. 

Zaïko Langa Langa

This iconic Congolese Rumba-band has been steadily defining and renewing African popular music for over half a century, and is widely considered one of the most influential groups in the scene. Swinging funk and catchy rumba make for a concert that’s a guaranteed must-see for any lover of lively rhythms. 

Fresh La Peufra

Fresh la Peufra has hiphop running in his blood: born into Liège’s urban culture and inspired by the American and French scenes, he started rapping when he was only 15. His victory in Netflix’s Nouvelle École made him skyrocket to fame, his winning single Chop even becoming a certified diamond hit! Bringing unique, percussive beats with bars that hit hard - his set will heat you up like no other.
