Black Bazar
Black Bazar is a musical concept introduced and produced by the writer Alain Mabanckou in 2012 with the support of the label Lusafrica, and managed by Caroline Blache. The first album featured a return to the musical roots of Congolese Rumba. Audiences were enthusiastic and the numerous artists involved in the project were hailed as “the new masters of the African scene in Paris."

This “first round” introduced the musical combo Black Bazar, and new audiences are continuing to discover them at some of the world’s best music festivals. The album Black Bazar – Round 2 is based on compositions by the legendary guitarist Popolipo Beniko and the talented bass-player Michel Lumana. The sounds of Kinshasa, Brazzaville, Praia and Lagos come together alongside the traditional rhythms and beats that have set on fire the nightclubs of the African diaspora.

Several well-known musicians have joined forces and decided to participate in the initiative: Ferré Gola, Soleil Wanga, Flamme Kapaya, Olivier Tshimanga, Roi David from the Congo-DRC; Karachika from Congo-Brazzaville; Wole Sentimenta from Nigeria; Izé Teixeira from Cape Verde or even the Haitian Fanfan from the famous Caribbean group Tabou Combo, who claims to be a “Congolese born in Haiti." This stellar line-up has managed to bring together diverse styles and show the world once again that music knows no borders.
